Description
System SSL is a set of generic services provided in z/OS to protect TCP/IP communications using the SSL/TLS protocol. System SSL is exploited by many SSL enabled servers and clients in z/OS to meet the transport security constraints required in an On Demand environment. The System SSL APIs are also externalized to customer applications. System SSL has evolved through the latest releases of z/OS to support the new TLS (Transaction Layer Security) standard, to reach an unmatched level of performance and to extend the APIs available to applications to new functions.
