Features and functions of IBM MQ Advanced Message Security

IBM® MQ Advanced Message Security expands IBM MQ security services to provide data signing and encryption at the message level. The expanded services guarantee that message data has not been modified between when it is originally placed on a queue and when it is retrieved. In addition, IBM MQ AMS verifies that a sender of message data is authorized to place signed messages on a target queue.

IBM MQ AMS provides the following functions:
  • Secures sensitive or high-value transactions processed by IBM MQ.
  • Detects and removes rogue or unauthorized messages before they are processed by a receiving application.
  • Verifies that messages were not modified while in transit from queue to queue.
  • Protects the data not only as it flows across the network but also when it is put on a queue.
  • Secures existing proprietary and customer-written applications for IBM MQ.
