Where to store sensitive data on IBM i machine

Question

Answer 1

Sounds like you want to use Cryptographic services key management

Cryptographic services key management for the IBM® i operating system allows you to store and manage master keys and keystores. Since you are exchanging sensitive data to manage master keys and keystores, it is recommended that you use a secure session.

Cryptographic Services supports a hierarchical key system. At the top of the hierarchy is a set of master keys. These keys are the only key values stored in the clear (unencrypted). Cryptographic services securely stores the master keys within the IBM i Licensed Internal Code (LIC).
