SMF Digital Signatures in z/OS 2.2

z/OS V2.2 will provide digital signatures for SMF records written to log streams. This function is intended to help you detect unauthorized alterations to recorded SMF data. This new function is planned to sign blocks of SMF records and chain the blocks' signatures. A planned signature verification function will help you determine whether SMF records or blocks of SMF records have been altered or removed. This is intended to provide a more trusted repository for the auditing records created by a number of z/OS system components. This session will fill you in on what they are, how to implement them, and when to use them.
