I've been reading the ICSF Applications Programmers guide and I
understand the process on how to transport ICSF keys to another zOS
system using importer/exporter keys, but I have no idea on how it would
work on a non-zOS platform.

Can anyone point me to some doc, or share their process if they've
already done it?

The least secure method, but the easiest si to sent the key in clear form, unencrypted. That requires SSM=YES. IOf you don't like clear keys then you should protect it by encrypting the key using ...the other key. In ICSF it is usually the oter key called transport key. Of course the other party (receiver) has to use the same symmetric transport key to decrypt the "message". The problem is how to get the same transport key in both systems. You can send such key using other key for transport...

There are following solutions:
a) you really send first key in clear form.
b) you enter the key in both machines - the key is not sent, but rather read from the sheet of paper by human entering it. c) you can use assymetric cryptography to exchange the keys. The safest way, probably he most complicated.

Now you know methods, but there is still problem with compatibility. The other system have to understand the data sent from ICSF. Having smae algorithms and keylenghts on both sides is prerequisite.
