IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#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>Application services provided by the coprocessor include:</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>For more information, visit:</p><p>http://www.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/</p><p>Option 35 CCA Cryptographic Service Provider is required along with Cryptographic Access Provider 128-bit (5722-AC3) licensed program. Both Option 35 and the LPP are no-charge.</p><p>For 8204-E8A: IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#4801)</p><p>Minimum required: 0</p><p>Maximum allowed: 8 (Initial order maximum: 0)</p><p>OS level required: IBM i V5R4 with V5R4M5 Machine Code or later.</p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Supported</p><p>CSU: Yes</p><p>Return parts MES: Does not apply</p><p>Note: Not supported in CEC.
