Specifies the type of message authentication support and cryptographic enhancements code checking VTAM® will use to create or to verify the message authentication code.
MACTYPE=CRC
Specifies that VTAM use an internal cyclic redundancy check (CRC) algorithm to generate a message authentication code.
MACTYPE=DES
Specifies that VTAM use the data encryption standard (DES) services provided by the available Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) product to generate a message authentication code for this application.
Note: ENCRTYPE affects the type of encryption used when calculating message authentication code for DES or TDES24.
