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

The key pair generated may be used to encrypt and recover archive data. It may also be used to recover encrypted data transmitted to you by another party.

  • The key length in bits must be specified (512, 1024, 2048, 3072 or 4096).
  • The private key name may also be specified, but is optional.
  • Blank is the default for the private key name.
  • Callable services:
    • CSNDKRR - ensures that the specified PKDS label doesn't already exist
    • CSNDPKB - builds the skeleton key token
    • CSNDPKG - generates the key pair
    • CSNDKRC - creates the PKDS record
Note:
  1. The key pair created may be used for generating and verifying digital signatures and key management.
  2. The public exponent used for all keys generated through this service is X'010001'.
