Encryption algorithm identifier

An encryption algorithm identifier is optional in the key data set.

The encryption algorithm identifiers supported are:

  • DES for Data Encryption Standard (for 64-bit keys)
  • DES for Triple Data Encryption Standard (for 128-bit keys)
  • AES for Advanced Encryption Standard (requires 128-bit keys)

The algorithm defaults to DES if no identifier is provided. If an identifier is provided, it must be separated from the timestamp by at least one blank. Components of the Recovery Management for Db2 solution distinguish between the two varieties of DES based on the length of the key (64-bit or 128-bit).
