CDP does not support ATTLS

In our company we us ATTLS to encrypt network traffic of the mainframe applications. According to IBM case TS004537625, CDP does not support ATTLS to encrypt the traffic from the data streamer to the data receivers.
IBM has always encouraged the use of ATTLS to encrypt network traffic for the mainframe applications (it has even stopped evolving encryption within ftp and tn3270 in favour of using ATTLS).

Can you please implement ATTLS support for CDP so that we can continue to have a common way of encrypting network traffic among all our applications?
