TSM does use DES 56-bit encryption and it is currently not possible to 
change the method/strength.  If you have additional requirements above and 
beyond DES 56-bit encryption, please open a requirement with Tivoli 
through your marketing rep. 

If you open a requirement can you please make sure to specify the 
following points:

1. encryption is for data encryption, authentication, secure 
communication, all of the above, etc. 
2. if higher key strength is need, what is needed
3. if different algorithm is needed, e.g., AES, or if ability to plug-in 
different algorithm is needed
4. if user key management is needed

This would help us understand what we need to do with our product set.

Thanks,

Hi all.

It's posible to change the cypher method or the number of bits.

I think TSM use DES 56 bits?

Thanks.
