IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:


Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,


Post your ideas

Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Compliance with SM1, SM2, SM3 and SM4 encryption

Chinese legal requirements for Planning Analytics 2.0.9.1, and this is the encryption requirement:

The National Cryptographic Algorithm is a series of algorithms formulated by the National Cryptographic Bureau. Including symmetric encryption algorithm, elliptic curve asymmetric encryption algorithm, hash algorithm. Specifically including SM1, SM2, SM3, etc., among them:

SM2 is a public key algorithm promulgated by the State Cryptography Administration, and its encryption strength is 256 bits.

Several other important commercial cryptographic algorithms include: SM1, symmetric encryption algorithm, encryption strength is 128 bits, implemented by hardware;

SM3, cryptographic hash algorithm, the hash value length is 32 bytes, and it is published at the same time as the SM2 algorithm, see "Announcement of the National Cipher Administration (No. 22)";

SMS4, a symmetric encryption algorithm, announced along with the WAPI standard, can be implemented in software, and the encryption strength is 128 bits.

    Changed status to 'Not Under Consideration'. We do not intend to support additional encryption standards in the Planning Analytics Local product. Enhancements to encryption should be considered at the platform level (Cloud Pak for Data).
