Security for TCP/IP clients

This part discusses how you can secure your applications when CICS® participates in a client-server configuration, using TCP/IP communication protocols.

About security for TCP/IP clients
TCP/IP connections between clients and servers — especially when they use the internet — are vulnerable to attack by malicious parties.
Configuring CICS to use SSL
CICS can use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or the Transport Layer Security (TLS) security protocols to support secure TCP/IP connections. To authenticate servers to clients, create certificates and key rings in RACF and ensure that the CICS region and resources are correctly configured to support security.
