This presentation shows how to exploit z/VSE Security and Crypto features like the new OpenSSL support and Encryption Facility for z/VSE. It discusses recent technology news such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange and Elliptic Curve cryptography and how it can be used with z/VSE. In addition, IBM mainframe cryptographic technology, including Crypto Express and CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF) are also discussed.
