Security: password protection on client applications

From IBM® MQ 8.0, any passwords that you send using the MQCSP structure can be either protected, by using IBM MQ functionality, or encrypted, by using SSL/TLS encryption.

On z/OS®, the channel initiator address space uses the Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF) for increased security on the password protection algorithm used with client applications.

See IBM MQ MQCSP password protection.
