Disk Dataset Encryption Options
Physical Disk Encryption Keys
Enabling Disk Encryption
Data Not Protected with Disk Subsystem Encryption
Encrypt each z/OS dataset with a key label tied to an ICSF key in the CKDS, enabling policy-driven encryption via data classes or profiles.
Encrypt by policy on z/OS using DFSMS data classes or RACF dataset profiles, rather than applying DSKEYLBL to individual datasets, for stronger protection than full-disk encryption.
Encrypt at-rest data on tape via tape subsystem and coupling facility, enabling multiple encrypted datasets on a tape with keys, but no encrypted and non-encrypted data on the same tape.
Explore options for encrypting z/OS data at rest beyond disk and tape, including JES2 spool encryption via key label, RACF JESJOBS policy, and database datasets for Db2 and IMS.
Examine the encryption pyramid for data at rest, balancing coverage from full disk and tape to dataset and database encryption with granularity, and consider application encryption.
This course introduces and discusses the types of z/OS data you should consider encrypting and the levels of encryption available. It begins by looking at full disk encryption, then moving to methods used for encrypting individual disk data sets. Information on encrypting other at-rest data residing on tape and the coupling facility is presented, as well as how unique data such as JES2 spool data sets, and database data can be secured. A look at in-flight data and how that is encrypted is also discussed. This course is suitable for system programmers and security specialists that need to identify how organizational data on z/OS is secured using pervasive encryption techniques. This is just one of the courses that is part of the Cryptography curriculum at Interskill Learning.
