Display Key Store Attributes (DSPKEYSTR)

The Display Key Store Attributes (DSPKEYSTR) command allows authorized users to display the attributes for a Key Store. This is primarily useful for viewing the Master Encryption Key (MEK) id number and version in which the Key Store entries are encrypted under.

How to Get There

From the Symmetric Encryption Key Menu, choose option 2.

Options

Key store name (KEYSTR)

Indicate the Key Store name and Library to display attributes for.

The possible values are:

key-store-name Enter the name of the Key Store.
*DEFAULT Use the default Key Store name specified at the Key Policy level.

The possible library values are:

library-name Enter the name of the library where the Key Store is located.
*LIBL Locate the Key Store within the library list.
 
NOTE:
A Key comparison value (KEYCV) is generated by Powertech Encryption for IBM i for each Master Key. The KEYCV is a different value (and has a different purpose) than the actual value of the Master Key.  This value is a unique identifier for comparing and verifying a key.
IMPORTANT: This value was formerly known as a Key verification value (KEYVV) and has been updated in Powertech Encryption 4.0. It is therefore not suitable for comparison across earlier versions. Please contact Technical Support for assistance in comparing values across versions.
