Re: [Bulk] Cryptographic algorithm support by OS level

Thanks Mark, that helps a lot.

It seems the "useful" algorithms are referred to in the V5R2 doc for CIPHER (and in V5R1, too). But we don't have them. OK, maybe there were PTFs to get them - or you had to have the cryptographic hardware, or a llicensed product installed. I don't know, had never needed to investigate this years ago.

But this finding gives me a bottom line for support. Much appreciated.

Hi, Vern:

I compiled and ran your program on V5R2 and the results are the same as
what you show for V5R1.

Hi all

Scott Klement has some code that displays which algorithms are supported
on the release you are running. At V5R1, there are only 4 of them (MAC,
MD5, SHA-1, and DES (two-way).

At V5R3 there are 10 more.

I need to know what the algorithms are at V5R2 - maybe it's documented
somewhere, I looked in MTU - nothing there. I don't have the MI docs for
CIPHER at V5R2, InfoCenter doesn't have them anywhere that're obvious to me.

Here is an amended version of Scott's code, usable at V5R1 and on - his
takes advantage of LIKEDS in data structure subfields, which wasn't
available that far back.

Maybe someone still has a V5R2 system/partition - if so, please compile
and run this code and let me know the results.

Much appreciated!
