How You Share Encrypted Data with a Non-z/OS Business Partner

If you want to send encrypted tapes to a non-z/OS business partner, you must do the following:

  1. Define one or more code books to the CA Tape Encryption parmlib on z/OS and then issue the REFRESH=CODEBOOKS operator command.
  2. Create a passkey that is used to encrypt the code book on export.
  3. Export the code book using the TBEBOOK export utility.
  4. Send the resulting export dataset to your B2B partner using email, FTP or some other electronic file transfer technique. The export dataset must be transferred in binary format.
  5. Send the passkey that was provided to the TBEBOOK export utility separately from the code book, or communicate the passkey by telephone conversation or any other secure communication technique.

The following sections provide details on these steps.
