In order to use OpenPGP, you have to have CPACF (which may or may not already be on your system.. but is free) and a crypto express 2/3/4 card/feature. Otherwise the Encryption Facility ( that OpenPGP is a part of ) is relegated to a smaller subset of functionality which does not include OpenPGP.
Having said all that .. that was at the last time I read thru all the doc and it was prior to being able to run ICSF without a CEX2/3 card. Does anyone know if the CEX3/4 requirement has been lifted with the changes to ICSF? All of the aforementioned strategies.. megacryption, voltage, co:z are valid as well.. for completeness sake..pkware also offers something.
