Decrypt the Data

The decryption process might be needed if you want to view or print data from a 3270 or web interface.

The decryption process is as follows:

  1. When an encrypted CA Spool report is read, the report data is decrypted when read from disk or tape.
  2. Depending on your hardware, decryption is done using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit or 256-bit keys.
