Record type 82 (X'52') — PCF Record
Record type 82 was used to record information about the events and operations of the Programmed Cryptographic Facility (PCF).
- Initialization:
The record is written when the Programmed Cryptographic Facility is initialized, either when cryptography is started or as a part of the key generator utility program.
- Start:
The record is written when a START command is issued for cryptography.
- Stop:
The record is written when a STOP command is issued for cryptography.
- Generation of an operational key:
If specified in the initialization options for cryptography, a record is written after processing each GENKEY macro instruction.
- Transformation of an operational key:
If specified in the initialization options for cryptography, a record is written after processing each RETKEY macro instruction.
- Execution of the key generator utility:
The record is written after the execution of the key generator utility program, thus providing a record of changes to the cryptographic key data set (CKDS).
Record type 82 consists of a header section and five possible relocate sections. The header section identifies the RACF® user ID and group name or the job and step name of the non-RACF cryptography user, the cryptography function when the record describes, and the return code issued by the function. The header section is 45 bytes long.
- Key generator utility, which indicates changes made by the utility to the host system master key, the local keys, the cross keys, and the remote keys.
- GENKEY function, which indicates the action taken in response to a GENKEY macro instruction.
- RETKEY function, which indicates the action taken in response to a RETKEY macro instruction.
- Cryptography initialization, which describes the SMF recording options in effect at initialization and the cryptography function and key manager user SVC numbers.
- Installation data, which contains any information supplied by an installation exit routine.
