CICS Transaction Gateway can
secure a network connection using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
Java™ clients can connect
over SSL to the Gateway daemon. In addition, SSL can be used in both
local mode and remote mode for IPIC connections to CICS®.
Why use SSL?
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport protocol provides
authenticated, reliable, private data communications over a network
connection.
What is SSL?
SSL is a security protocol that provides communications
privacy. SSL enables client and server applications to communicate
in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and
message forgery. SSL applies only to internet
protocols, and is not applicable to SNA.
