Package Signing Support
IBM has enhanced the GIMZIP program to digitally sign SMP/E packages. SMP/E now requires signature validation for all digitally signed GIMZIP packages.
Broadcom
supports package signing verification for PTF receive order packages, service order packages, and Portable Software Instance (PSWI) packages. This enhancement requires a configuration change for all packages. For the security configuration steps, see Manage Package Signing in the Common Mainframe Maintenance Procedures site.
