About 15 years ago I was involved with an encryption project that crossed
platforms between EBCDIC and ASCII. From what I remember, encryption is
encryption regardless of the platform as long as all of the parameters match
up (I don't remember the specifics anymore but I think there was SALT, IV,
and some others). The one issue that we did have was that we had to Base64
encode the data before passing it from EBCDIC to ASCII but I really can't
remember why. It seems like FTPing via BINARY would have worked but it
didn't. I'll have to think on that one for a while. I also remember that
since there was one EBCDIC and several ASCII machines, we converted
everything from EBCDIC to ASCII and ASCII to EBCDIC on the EBCDIC machine.
The ASCII machines just encrypted and decrypted.

Are any of the encrypt*/decrypt* functions available at

reversible on other platforms?

Hello,

I need to encrypt a physical or stream file on an Iseries at record and file
level.

The file will then be passed securely to a non-ibm site for decryption.

The Iseries (or what ever the new model name is) has OS V7.

Sorry I have no real knowledge of how encryption really works, storage of
keys etc.

I assume this is beyond taking an example program from someone like Scott
Klement.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
