Abstract for PSF for z/OS: Security Guide

Abstract for PSF for z/OS: Security Guide

Purpose of this information: This information is designed to help programmers, analysts, and administrators who install, customize, or maintain Print Services Facility™ (PSF) for z/OS® (hereafter referred to as PSF) as a component of a trusted computing base.1

This information describes the PSF function called print labeling. This function can be used to produce printed output containing special labels. These labels can be used for security purposes or other installation-defined purposes.

Note:
Print labeling can be done with PSF even if PSF is not a part of a trusted computing base.

Who should read this information: You should use this information if you are a system programmer, a system analyst, a security administrator, a security auditor, or an application programmer who is responsible for data security.

You should be familiar with the material contained in PSF for z/OS: Customization and PSF for z/OS: User’s Guide before attempting any of the procedures described in this information.
