In transit MQ encryption without SSL certificates

In a large MQ environment it can be quite time consuming to stay on top of certificate renewals. When SSL/TLS is enabled on MQ channels there is significant risk of impact if SSL certs are not renewed in time. It can also be complicated to ensue all partners have the necessary CA certs when certificates change.

Based on experience, some application teams can find it quite challenging to enable SSL on client applications and having an option to use some sort of standard encryption which is activated with a single setting would be much easier than the current SSL/TLS setup.
