Security on z/OS: Comprehensive, current, and flexible

by R. Guski, J. C. Dayka, L. N. Distel, W. B. Farrell, K. A. Gdaniec, M. J. Kelly, M. A. Nelson, L. H. Overby, L. G. Robinson
In this paper, we summarize and explain the security functions available to a typical enterprise computing installation using the IBM z/OS™ operating system and Security Server. The discussion is at a high level, aimed at enterprise decision makers and application architects. The intent is to explain the comprehensive security componentry within z/OS and to show how these techniques and functions are exploited by modern distributed and Internet applications. Both z/OS and the IBM eServer zSeries™ product family have a rich heritage and significant presence in the evolving computing marketplace. Consequently, this discussion includes some computer security history and projections of the relevant future.
