Key Ring Names

The following points describe how CA Tape Encryption uses key ring names:

• The actual key ring names, as defined to the security products, can be any valid name.
• The key ring names do not need to be the same at the site that creates the encrypted tape and the remote site of the business partner that reads the tape.
• The key rings used by CA Tape Encryption are defined on both the system that creates the tape and the system that reads the tape, in their respective parmlibs.
• The key ring names are aliases that do not have to be the same on the system that creates the tape and the system that reads the tape.
