IBM i Encryption with FieldProc and Assure Encryption

Understanding Field Procedures on IBM i and how to tackle common challenges

Organizations of all sizes are rushing to implement encryption to protect sensitive digital assets including personally identifiable information of customers, vendors, and employees, and valuable intellectual property. IBM introduced a Db2 database column level exit point named Field Procedures, or FieldProc, in release 7.1 of the IBM i operating system.

This column-level exit point is implemented directly in the Db2 database and is invisible to applications (both IBM and user) that use the database. Customers and third-party vendors are developing FieldProc exit point software to provide the encryption, key management, user control, audit and data masking features that IBM i customers need to protect sensitive data.

This eBook explores the architecture, implementation, critical features and limitations of Field Procedures on the IBM i and points to some solutions to the primary challenges. Where appropriate this eBook points to Precisely’s security solutions for FieldProc on the IBM i and describes how these challenges are being met.
