z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF Application Programmer's Guide
SA22-7522-16

If you are running with the Cryptographic Coprocessor Feature, this service requires that the ANSI system keys be installed on the CKDS.

The following table shows the access control points in the ICSF role that control the function of this service.

Table 47. Required access control points for Key Part Import
Rule array keywordAccess control point
FIRSTKey Part Import - first key part
MIDDLE or LASTKey Part Import - middle and last
ADD-PARTKey Part Import - ADD-PART
COMPLETEKey Part Import - COMPLETE
WRAP-ECB or WRAP-ENH and default key-wrapping method setting does not match keywordKey Part Import - Allow wrapping override keywords

A “replicated key-halves" key (both cleartext halves of a double-length key are equal) is not as secure as a double-length key with key halves that are not the same. The key part import service verb enforces the key-halves restriction documented above when the Key Part Import - Unrestricted access control point is disabled in the ICSF role.

This table lists the required cryptographic hardware for each server type and describes restrictions for this callable service.
