Hello Pundits

An auditor has visited us lately and suggested we encrypt backup tapes sent
to external facility.
Tape is a 3580 LTO7, machine is P9 7.3 .
I've found here
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1021280
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1017856

that the 3580 tape is capable of hardware encryption/decryption if you
configure it with something known as SKLM .
I've noticed that the A/M SKLM is a Windowz/Linux tool not an IBMi one.
Now, How a Windowz/Linux tool causes a 3580 tape connected to IBMi to
encrypt/decrypt ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated
