Key Import (CSNBKIM and CSNEKIM)

z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF Application Programmer's Guide
SA22-7522-16

Use the key import callable service to reencipher a key (except an AKEK) from encryption under an importer key-encrypting key to encryption under the master key. The reenciphered key is in operational form.

Choose one of these options:

  • Specify the key_type parameter as TOKEN and specify the external key token in the source_key_identifier parameter. The key type information is determined from the control vector in the external key token.
  • Specify a key type in the key_type parameter and specify an external key token in the source_key_identifier parameter. The specified key type must be compatible with the control vector in the external key token.
  • Specify a valid key type in the key_type parameter and a null key token in the source_key_identifier parameter. The default control vector for the key_type specified will be used to process the key.

For DATA keys, this service generates a key of the same length as that contained in the input token.

The callable service name for AMODE(64) invocation is CSNEKIM.
