High Performance Encrypted Key (Subtype 28)

Symmetric Key Encipher (CSNBSYE, CSNBSYE1, CSNESYE and CSNESYE1) and Symmetric Key Decipher (CSNBSYD, CSNBSYD1, CSNESYD and CSNESYD1) callable services exploit CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF) for improved key management performance. An encrypted DATA key stored in the CKDS can be used in these services, but only when SYMCPACFWRAP(YES) is specified in the ICSF segment of the CSFKEYS class profile that covers the key. ICSF writes to subtype 28 at the completion of functions that attempt to wrap an encrypted key under the CPACF wrapping key. Subtype 28 will indicate if the rewrapping operation is:

SMF records for this subtype will also contain server user and end user audit sections.
