  • Adjunct processor extended message limit facility
    Patent number: 11875200
    Abstract: A message limit value to be used in enqueuing one or more messages on a queue of a device of the computing environment is obtained. The message limit value indicates whether an extended maximum message length is supported by the device. The extended maximum message length is different from a default maximum message length supported by the device. Based on determining that the extended maximum message length is supported and that the obtained message limit value has a defined relationship with a select value, at least one message of an extended length is enqueued on the queue of the device.

  • System generated data set encryption key
    Patent number: 11277262
    Abstract: Generating unique data encryption keys for a data set, by allocating a data set associated with a security policy, where the security policy specifies a key encryption key (KEK) label, retrieving the KEK label from the security policy, storing the KEK label as metadata of the data set, opening the data set for a first time write, generating a data encryption key (DEK), retrieving a KEK from a key store according to the KEK label, encrypting the DEK using the KEK, storing the encrypted DEK as metadata of the data set, and encrypting the data set using the DEK.
