<h2>Cryptographic Services APIs</h2>
<p>The i5/OS<SUP>(TM)</SUP> Cryptographic Services APIs help you ensure the
following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Privacy of data</li>
<li>Integrity of data</li>
<li>Authentication of communicating parties</li>
<li>Non-repudiation of messages</li>
</ul>
<p>For general information about cryptography, refer to
<a href="../rzajc/rzajcconcepts.htm">Cryptography Concepts</a> in the Security topic.</p>
<p>The Cryptographic Services APIs perform cryptographic functions within the i5/OS<SUP>(TM)</SUP> or on the 2058
Cryptographic Accelerator for iSeries, as specified by the user. For more information about hardware
cryptography, refer to
<a href="../rzajc/rzajcoverview.htm">Cryptographic Hardware</a> in the Security topic.
For a comparison of function performed in the i5/OS and on the 2058, refer to
<a href="qc3Compare.htm">i5/OS and 2058
Function Comparison</a>.</p>
<p>The Cryptographic Services APIs include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="catcrypt2.htm">Encryption and Decryption APIs</a></li>
<li><a href="catcrypt3.htm">Authentication APIs</a></li>
<li><a href="catcrypt4.htm">Key Generation APIs</a></li>
