Managing Master Keys - PCIXCC, CEX2C, or CEX3C

z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF Administrator's Guide
SA22-7521-17

This topic describes how to use the Master Key Entry panels to enter master keys in a PCIXCC, CEX2C, or CEX3C. Each PCIXCC, CEX2C, or CEX3C is capable of performing cryptographic functions and holding master keys within a secure boundary.

You can have multiple PCIXCCs/CEX2Cs on the z990 and z890. Multiple CEX2Cs are available on z9 EC and z9 BC systems. Muliple CEX3Cs are available on z10 EC, z10 BC, and z196 systems. Requests for cryptographic services are routed to the PCIXCC, CEX2C, or CEX3C.

Note:
The PCI Cryptographic Accelerators improve private key decryption performance. They do not require setting of master keys.
