At first blush, would you think that 128-bit encryption consumes more CPU cycles and processing time than 96-bit encryption? What about the compatibility of hardware crypto used on IBM® System z® mainframes with other software crypto?

With one solution, SecureZIP®, you get passphrase AES 128-bit encryption that’s 70% faster in elapsed time and 83% faster in CPU time, in comparison to traditional ZIP passphrase 96-bit encryption. Also, a file compressed and encrypted by SecureZIP can be exchanged on z/OS, i5/OS®, UNIX®, Linux®, Windows® Server and Windows desktop, with z/OS hardware crypto interoperating with software crypto.
