In the on demand era, security demands a variety of cryptographic solutions. The IBM eServers offer several products to address your cryptographic needs.
The IBM PCI-X Cryptographic Coprocessor (PCIXCC):
The PCI-X Cryptographic Coprocessor is new with the IBM eServer zSeries 990 servers. It provides a replacement for both the PCICC and the CMOS Cryptographic Coprocessor Facility (CCF).
The PCIXCC supports highly secure cryptographic functions, use of secure encrypted key values and user-defined extensions.
The IBM e-business Cryptographic Accelerator:
Secure Web transactions frequently employ the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. The IBM e-business PCI Cryptographic Accelerator board offloads your server from compute-intensive public-key cryptographic operations employed in the protocol. This cost-effective solution often enables significantly greater server thruput.
Note: The PCICA is available for iSeries, pSeries, and zSeries machines.
The IBM 4758 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor:
The IBM 4758 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor is a high security, programmable PCI board. Specialized cryptographic electronics, micro-processor, memory, and random number generator housed within a tamper-responding environment provide a highly secure subsystem in which data processing and cryptography can be performed.
Note: The IBM 4758 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor is available for iSeries, pSeries and xSeries machines, older zSeries servers, and in general for Intel-based machines running Windows 2000.
The IBM CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF):
New with the IBM eServer zSeries 990 servers, the standard CP Assist for Cryptographic Function feature provides hardware acceleration for DES, TDES, MAC, and SHA-1 cryptographic services. Cryptographic keys must be protected by your application system, as required.
The IBM Cryptographic Coprocessor Facility (CCF):
IBM zSeries servers, except the new zSeries 990, offer a Common Cryptographic Facility feature providing high-performance for DES, TDES, RSA, and various finance-industry-specific cryptographic services. FIPS 140, level 4. Certification of the hardware attests to the strength of cryptographic security.
