An overview of the enhancements to security.
The improvements to security cover a variety of areas and are summarized
as follows:
- Support for the TLS 1.0 protocol and AES cipher suites
- Scalability through an increased number of simultaneous SSL connections
- Support for certificate revocation lists
- SSL caching across CICS® regions in a sysplex
- Specifying minimum as well as maximum encryption negotiation levels
Note: CICS supports
both SSL and TLS security protocols in this release. For clarity, the term
SSL is used to refer to both protocols in the documentation, except where
a specific point about either protocol is required.
