MQSeries.net :: View topic - New: MQ Channel Encryption and MQ Channel Encryption for zOS

RogerLacroix

All,

Capitalware Inc. has created 2 new WebSphere MQ security products: MQ Channel Encryption (MQCE) and MQ Channel Encryption for z/OS (z/MQCE). These security products provide message encryption that is compliant with industry standards (including PCI) and governmental laws.

MQCE and z/MQCE provide encryption for MQ message data, which flows between WebSphere MQ (WMQ) resources. MQCE and z/MQCE operate with Sender, Receiver, Server, Requestor, Cluster-Sender, Cluster-Receiver, Server Connection and Client Connection channels of the WMQ queue managers.

MQCE operates on distributed platforms while z/MQCE operates on the mainframe. MQCE works with WMQ v5.3, v6.0 or v7.0 (and MQSeries v5.2) on Windows, IBM i (OS/400), Unix and Linux environments. z/MQCE works with WebSphere MQ for z/OS v5.3.1, v6.0 or v7.0 on z/OS v1.4 or higher environments.

Both security products use Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to encrypt the data. AES is a data encryption scheme, adopted by the US government, that uses three different key sizes (128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit). AES was announced by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as U.S. FIPS PUB 197 (FIPS 197) on November 26, 2001.
