Parameters

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.
