Library/Object/File Encryption Menu

To view the list of available encryption and decryption commands, launch the Library/Object/File Encryption Menu by running the IBM i command of GO CRYPTO/CRYPTO5

A command can be executed by selecting its corresponding menu option or by typing in the name of the command (listed in parenthesis).    


How to Get There

From the Main Menu, choose option 5, Library/Object/File Encryption Menu. Or, execute the command GO CRYPTO/CRYPTO5.

Options

1. Encrypt Library (ENCSAVLIB)

Choose this option to open the Encrypt Library (ENCSAVLIB) panel, which allows you to encrypt and save a copy of one or more libraries.

2. Decrypt Library (DECRSTLIB)

Choose this option to open the Decrypt Library (DECRSTLIB) panel, which allows you to restore and decrypt one or more libraries that were saved with the ENCSAVLIB command.

3. Encrypt Object (ENCSAVOBJ)

Choose this option to open the Encrypt Object (ENCSAVOBJ) panel, which allows you to encrypt and save a copy of one or more objects.

4. Decrypt Object (DECRSTOBJ)

Choose this option to open the Decrypt Object (DECRSTOBJ) panel, which allows you to restore and decrypt one or more objects that were saved with the ENCSAVLIB or ENCSAVOBJ commands.

5. Encrypt IFS Stream File (ENCSTMF)

Choose this option to open the Encrypt IFS Stream File (ENCSTMF) panel, which allows you to encrypt IFS stream files to a device (physical or virtual) or the IFS. Encryption algorithms provided are AES128, AES192 and AES256. Either a symmetric key or a password can be specified for the encryption.

6. Decrypt IFS Stream File (DECSTMF)

Choose this option to open the Decrypt IFS Stream File (DECSTMF) panel, which allows you to decrypt IFS stream files that were encrypted with the ENCSAVFIL command. Files can be restored/decrypted from a device (physical or virtual) or the IFS. Either a symmetric key or a password can be specified for the decryption.

10. Prior versions (GO CRYPTO/CRYPTO11)

Choose this option to open the Legacy Encryption Commands panel. The legacy commands listed here have been replaced by faster commands, but can still be used to maintain compatibility with older processes. The latest library/object/file encryption commands are on the GO CRYPTO/CRYPTO5 menu.
