Share Your ExperienceProduct Overview
The architecture of IBM Encryption Facility for z/OS centers around several key components designed to provide comprehensive data encryption capabilities. The Encryption Services component is the core, responsible for encrypting and decrypting datasets. This component integrates with the z/OS system to provide seamless encryption operations.
The DFSMSdss Encryption Facility extends these capabilities by encrypting DFSMSdss dump datasets, ensuring that backups are also secured. The IBM Encryption Facility Client is a separate component that enables secure data exchange with systems using IBM Encryption Facility. Communication between these components is primarily internal to the z/OS environment.
The Encryption Services component interacts directly with the z/OS system to access and process datasets. DFSMSdss Encryption Facility integrates with DFSMSdss to encrypt dump datasets during backup operations. The IBM Encryption Facility Client communicates using protocols suitable for secure data transfer.
The system utilizes z/OS file systems for data storage. The specific ports and network requirements are not detailed in the provided context. The design emphasizes integration within the z/OS ecosystem, providing robust encryption capabilities.
