IP Address Protection

Securing an IP address using CA Top Secret requires that the TCP/IP product installed pass the IP address packet. IBM's TCP/IP product does pass the IP address packet.

Important! IP address protection is not available if your TCP/IP product does not pass the IP address packet.

The IP packet passed is generated from the user's originating IP address. The IP packets often have no resemblance to standard LU names. Each node of the IP address is translated into a character representation of the hex value of the node. For example, the IP address 141.202.201.56 appears as terminal 8DCAC938.
