Encrypting data sets

The IBM MQ data sets can be encrypted with z/OS data set encryption, so that the data is protected, or for regulatory reasons.

We can protect all page sets, active log, archive log, and bootstrap (BSDS) data sets with z/OS data set encryption. Attention: You cannot protect shared message data sets (SMDS) with z/OS data set encryption by IBM MQ for z/OS Version 9.1.4 or earlier.

See the section, confidentiality for data at rest on IBM MQ for z/OS with data set encryption. for more information.
