The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#4801) PCI Crypto Coprocessor</p><p>#4801 provides a rich set of data encryption and authentication services for applications requiring high security. Cryptographic keys are stored in a tamper-resistant module on the coprocessor. This feature is ideally suited for banking and financial applications. With the tamper resistant-module the coprocessor can also be used to implement other advanced applications such as electronic postage metering. </p><p></p><p>Application services provided by the coprocessor include: </p><p></p><p>Data encryption using Tripe-DES (Data Encryption Standard) </p><p>Digital signature generation/verification using RSA public-key cryptography </p><p>Data integrity checking using MD5 and SHA-1 secure hash algorithms </p><p>Financial PIN support for automatic teller machine (ATM) networks </p><p>Basic Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) block operations </p><p>Secure storage of keys in a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-1 Level 3 tamper-resistant module </p><p>The PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor is compatible with IBM's Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA). </p><p></p><p>For more information, visit: </p><p></p><p>http://www.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/ </p><p></p><p>Option 35 CCA Cryptographic Service Provider is required along with Cryptographic Access Provider 128-bit (5722-AC3) licensed program.
