Federal Information Processing Standards support - Documentation for BMC AMI Datastream for Db2 7.1

FIPS mode enforces more restrictions than non-FIPS mode. For example, the key database must have been created in FIPS mode, and certain cipher suites are considered too weak for FIPS mode. For more information, see the following resources: 

• "System SSL and FIPS 140-2" in the IBM publication z/OS Cryptographic Services System Secure Sockets Layer Programming
• The US Department of Commerce publication SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CRYPTOGRAPHIC MODULES

Important

Although not a validated cryptographic module, BMC AMI Datastream uses IBM z/OS Cryptographic Services for all cryptographic services. IBM z/OS Cryptographic Services is FIPS 140-2 certified.
