My friends from the content design team published an update to the libica publication. The libica 4.4 Programmer's Reference is now available on ibm.com/docs site:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-systems?topic=reference-libica-44
The Library for IBM Cryptographic Architecture (libica) is a library of cryptographic functions that are used to write cryptographic applications on Linux on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE, both with and optionally without cryptographic hardware.
The content design team has news for you on IBM Docs :
- Libica 4.3, now including a new FIPS mode function to allow an external GCM initialization vector in FIPS mode.
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-systems?topic=reference-libica-43
- Linux kernel 6.6 – Using the Dump Tools, now including using ECKD DASDs for list-directed dumps of the memory of an LPAR.
