IBM i Series 8205-E6B (#4764) - PCI-X Cryptographic Coprocessor (FIPS 4)</p><p>(No Longer Available as of July 29, 2011)</p><p>Provides both cryptographic coprocessor and secure-key cryptographic accelerator functions in a single PCI-X card. The coprocessor functions are targeted to banking and finance applications. Financial PIN processing and Europay, MasterCard, Visa (EMV) credit card functions are provided. EMV is a standard for integrated-chip based credit cards. The secure-key accelerator functions are targeted to improving the performance of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transactions. The #4764 provides the security and performance required to support eBusiness and emerging digital signature applications. Host application access to the cryptographic services of the #4764 are via the Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) application programming interfaces (APIs) or additionally via Public-Key Cryptographic Standards (PKCS#11) APIs. Only one API can be loaded on a single feature 4764 card.</p><p>The #4764 provides secure storage of cryptographic keys in a tamper resistant hardware security module (HSM), which is designed to meet FIPS 140 security requirements. FIPS 140 is a U.S. Government National Instiute of Standards & Technology (NIST) administered standard and certification program for cryptographic modules.</p><p>Feature 4764 PCI-X Cryptographic Coprocessor (FIPS 4) users will be able to down load firmware for AIX from the following URL replacing the firmware CD previously provided.</p><p>Notes: FC 4764 Firmware and support software are part of "AIX Expansion Pack and Web Download Pack"</p><p>Please refer to the following URL for the latest firmware and software updates.</p><p>http://www-03.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/</p><p>Attributes provided:</p><p>Cryptographic Accelerator Function</p><p>EMV-Based Credit Card Function</p><p>CCA API Host Support, and PKCS#11 API.</p><p>Attributes required:</p><p>One PCI-X card slot per 4764 FC.</p><p>Note: Only one API (CCA or PKCS11 but not both) can be loaded per 4764 Feature.</p><p>For 8202-E4B: (#4764)</p><p>Minimum required: 0</p><p>Maximum allowed: 24 (Initial order maximum: 24)</p><p>OS level required:</p><p>AIX Version 5.3 supported</p><p>AIX Version 6.1 supported</p><p>AIX Version 7.1 supported</p><p>IBM i 6.1 supported</p><p>IBM i 7.1 supported</p><p>Refer to Software Requirements for specific O/S levels supported</p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Both</p><p>CSU: Yes</p><p>Return parts MES: No</p><p>Note:</p><p>Not supported in the CEC</p><p>System maximum of 24 in 4 x #5796</p><p>Please validate that software components which provide SSL are enabled to use hardware cryptographic devices through the PKCS#11 or CCA API's.
