only.
Client Option for CICS and Server Option for CICS provide Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session-based security. They implement the IBM Application Transparent - Transport Layer Security (AT-TLS) option. AT-TLS provides application-transparent, SSL-secured connections for both the client and server. SSL is the standard for securing the transmission of sensitive information (such as credit card numbers, stock trades, and banking transactions) over the Internet.
Client Option for CICS and Server Option for CICS work
with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in gateway-less mode.
SSL provides these features:
Authentication for clients and servers, with practical emphasis on the server
Data confidentiality (encryption)
Verification that a transaction was sent by the client and that the identical transaction was received by the server
To provide efficient authentication and encryption, SSL combines private-key and public-key technologies. For more information, see “Appendix D: Setting Up Secure Sockets Layer Protocol” in these guides:
