Discrete, Fully-Qualified, Generic Data Set Selection Profiles

The 26-character data set selection prefix resource is used to assign ownership and to create a model of data set selection profiles using the ADDTO command. To further qualify a data set selection profile the CA Top Secret PERMIT command is defined. On the PERMIT command you have the option of creating a discrete, fully-qualified, or generic data selection profile.

By defining discrete, fully-qualified, or generic data set selection profiles the security administrator can select specific data sets or large group of data sets for encryption. Individual or generic data set selection profiles can be tailored to match specific encryption keys to data sets and select which BESn subsystem will encrypt the data sets.
