 key-name

    Name under which the encryption key will be stored in the key
    storage table. Specify a character string according to the
    following conventions:

    o  1 to 243 alphanumeric characters

    o  Dollar signs and underscores are valid.

    o  Not case sensitive

    Use a name that has meaning to you, to help you remember it.

                                   NOTE

       Key names beginning with ENCRYPT$ are reserved for VSI.

 key-value

    String representing the value of the encryption key. Specify
    either ASCII text or a hexadecimal constant, as follows:

    o  ASCII text string (default)

       -  Minimum length: 8 (DES) 16, 24, or 32 (AES-128, 192, and
          256 bits respectively).

       -  Maximum length: approximately 240 characters.

       -  The string is not case sensitive for DES keys.

       -  If you use characters other than alphanumeric characters,
          for example, blank spaces, enclose the string in quotation
          marks ( " " ).

    o  Hexadecimal constant

       -  Use the /HEXADECIMAL qualifier.

       -  Valid characters: 0 to 9, A to F (ASCII coded HEX nibbles).

       -  Minimum length: 16 characters-DES-32, 48, or 64 (AES-128,
          192, and 256 bits respectively).

       -  Do not enclose the value in quotation marks.
