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

Use this utility to retrieve information about the cryptographic and hash algorithms available. You can control the amount of data that is returned by passing in rule_array keywords. Keyword values describe the cryptographic algorithm or hash algorithm you are interested in.

The service returns a table of information in the returned_data parameter. A row of data consists of the algorithm name, the algorithm size, whether or not clear or secure keys are supported and what method ICSF will use to satisfy a request - CPU instructions, a cryptographic accelerator, a cryptographic coprocessor, or software. The service updates the returned_data_length field with the actual length of the output returned_data field.

The callable service name for AMODE (64) invocation is CSFIQA6.
