Confidentiality
Send and receive exits can be used to encrypt and decrypt the data that flows on a channel. They are more appropriate than message exits for providing this service for the following reasons:
- On a message channel, message headers can be encrypted as well as the application data in the messages.
- Send and receive exits can be used on MQI channels as well as message channels. Parameters on MQI calls might contain sensitive application data that needs to be protected while it flows on an MQI channel. We can therefore use the same send and receive exits on both kinds of channel.
