    IBM Digital Certificate Manager for i is updated to support importing and validating of certificates that are issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) using an RSA key length of 8192 bits.

    IBM believes that the solution for the Idea is available with PTFs for the IBM i 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 releases as described in the IBM i Technology Updates content pages, specifically https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7048723.

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this Idea.

    The CAAC has reviewed this Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. 8K keys are the next generation, so IBM i needs to implement, but adoption demand is minimal at this point.


    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual Ideas on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    IBM has received the requirement and is evaluating it. IBM will provide a response after evaluation is complete.
