Creating or initializing key storage

Edit online
To create or initialize key storage for your Data Encryption Standard (DES) keys, Public-Key Algorithm (PKA) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys, complete the following steps:
  1. From the Key Storage menu, select DES Key Storage, PKA Key Storage, or AES Key Storage.
  2. From the resulting submenu, click Initialize. The Initialize DES Key Storage, Initialize PKA Key Storage, or Initialize AES Key Storage window is displayed.
  3. Enter a description for the key-storage file.
  4. Click Initialize. You are prompted to enter a name for the key-storage data set.
  5. Enter a name for the file and save it. The key-storage file is created on the host.
    Note: If a file with the same name exists, you are prompted to verify your choice because initializing the key storage modifies the file; therefore, if the file had any keys, they would be erased.
