Configure Cryptographic Settings

IBM® Controller components require a cryptographic provider to run. If you delete the default cryptographic provider, you must configure another provider to replace it. After configuring a cryptographic provider, you can test it on the gateway computer.

You can configure cryptographic and cryptographic provider settings, including the following:

• advanced algorithms

  These include signing and digest algorithms.

• common symmetric key store (CSK) properties

  The CSK is used by IBM Controller to encrypt and decrypt data.

• signing key store properties

  The signing key pair includes the private key used to generate the digital signature and the public key used to confirm authenticity.

• encryption key store properties

  The encryption key pair includes the private key used to encrypt data and the public key used to decrypt data.
