Display Symmetric Key Attributes (DSPSYMKEY)

The DSPSYMKEY command allows an authorized user to display the attributes for a Symmetric Key (Data Encryption Key). 

NOTE: The actual value of the Symmetric Key is not displayed with this command. Only the attribute settings will be displayed.

How to Get There

From the Symmetric Encryption Key Menu, choose option 13.

Options

Key label (KEYLABEL)

Indicate the label of the Symmetric Key to display attributes for.

Key store name (KEYSTR)

Indicate the object name and library of the Key Store which contains the Symmetric Key.

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.
Symmetric key comparison (SYMKVV)

The symmetric key comparison value is a unique value generated for an individual key. This value is intended only for use in comparison actions to ensure the identity of a key.

NOTE: This value is not the same as the actual symmetric key value.
