Very nice...looks I have some more reading in store! :)

Question: What can be used in V5R3? Some of the key management
utilities are only available in V5R4 and higher, correct?

Thanks...

Your assumption is correct, Michael. - Here's some more information on
the subject that might help explain the use of a salt in this specific
context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_vector

As coincidence would have it, this week's programming newsletter also
includes an article covering this topic, together with more code
examples:

ent-encrypting-and-decrypting-data-using-key-hierarchy

The article doesn't appear to be on-line yet, but it should be soon. A

Best regards,

Good refs Buck...thanks.

How would this be implemented in the cryptographic APIs? Would this be
used for the Initialization Vector?
