stc cipher enable

Enable the use of a symmetric encryption cipher algorithm for data encryption on an STC link. All data transmitted over the STC link will be encrypted using the cipher that is both enabled and that offers the highest level of security. For example, if AES 192 and AES 256 are enabled, and AES 128 is disabled, AES 256 will be used. You can use the command stc cipher show to show which ciphers are currently enabled/disabled.

You must be logged in as the HSM SO to use this command.

NOTE   Performance is reduced for larger ciphers.
