Public Key Cryptography Standards #11 (PKCS#11) is implemented on the Java™ platform for z/OS® by using the IBMPKCS11Impl provider. This Security provider uses the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) and Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) frameworks to add the capability to use hardware cryptographic devices via PKCS#11 interfaces.

Overview

On the z/OS Java platform, cryptographic hardware support for PKCS#11 is provided by the z/OS Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF).
