MQSeries Security: Example of Using a Channel Security Exit, Encryption and Decryption

This redbook describes how to achieve secure communications in an MQSeries environment using security exits, send message and receive message exits.

This redbook provides an example of an exit running in Windows NT. The exit can be used in MQSeries node to MQSeries node communications as well as for client applications connected to an MQSeries server.

The sample exit uses a real-life example of cryptography software for performing encryption and decryption.

The first two chapters provide an overview of what secure communications is all about and an introduction to channels and channel exits in general. The next two chapters describe the design of a channel security exit and its actual implementation. Chapter 5 is more technical and describes:
- How to compile and link the channel security exit
- How to install the exit on your system
- How to set up channel definitions for using the exit
- How to port the application to AIX and OS/390

The appendix contains the source code of the channel security exit as well as the source code of the program to generate the private and public key files.
