  • 1.  JAVA Cryptographic Services ICSF interface

    Posted Wed February 15, 2023 02:52 PM

    Is it possible to call ICSF CCA functions such as CSNBPFO from JAVA under zOS.

    I have not found a class.

    thanks.

    There is IBMJCECCA which allows higher-level functions but there does not currently exist a JNI for ICSF callable services.

    Someone pointed out that there is jCCA https://www.ibm.com/security/key-management/jcca

    IBM Crypto Competance Center offers jCCA that will do just that.
    From the introduction document:
    jCCA is a higher level Java interface to CCA/ICSF whose goal is to make use of CCA and ICSF mucheasier and hide differences between platforms as much as possible. jCCA usually support the four latestCoprocessors available and is continually updated for the latest changes to CCA and ICSF.

    I previously mentioned that I wasn't aware of an interface. I just learned this morning that IBM CCCC has exactly what you are looking for. It is called jCCA and you can read up on it at https://www.ibm.com/security/key-management/jcca
