Chapter 7. Software support 285
Table 7-59 lists the minimum support requirements for SMC-D.
Table 7-59 Minimum support requirements for SMC-D.
For more information, see Appendix D, “Shared Memory Communications” on page 475.
7.4 Cryptographic support
z13s provides two major groups of cryptographic functions:
Synchronous cryptographic functions, which are provided by CPACF
Asynchronous cryptographic functions, which are provided by the Crypto Express5S
feature
The minimum software support levels are listed in the following sections. Obtain and review
the current PSP buckets to ensure that the latest support levels are known and included as
part of the implementation plan.
7.4.1 CP Assist for Cryptographic Function
In z13s, CPACF supports the following encryption types:
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, symmetric encryption)
The Data Encryption Standard (DES, symmetric encryption)
The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA, hashing)
For more information, see 6.4, “CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions” on page 207.
Table 7-60 lists the support requirements for CPACF on z13s.
