iSeries IBM 9406, #4802 PCI CRYPTO CO-PROCESSOR

(#4802) PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor

(Only available as REFURBISHED as of November 21, 2003)

The new PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor (#4801, #4802) 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, however with the tamper resistant- module the coprocessor can be used to implement other advanced applications such as electronic postage metering,

Application services provided by the Coprocessor include:

Data encryption using Tripe-DES (Data Encryption Standard)

Digital signature generation/verification using RSA public-key cryptography

Data integrity checking using MD5 and SHA-1 secure hash algorithms

Financial PIN support for ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) networks

Basic SET (Secure Electronic Transaction) block operations

Secure storage of keys in a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-1 Level 3 tamper resistant module.

The PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor is compatible with IBM's Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA). OS/400 Option 35 CCA Cryptographic Service Provider is required along with one of the AS/400 Cryptographic Access Provider licensed program products (LPP) -- both Option 35 and the LPP are no-charge.

#4801 can be installed in the 820, 830, and 840 system units, or attached #5074, #5075, or #5079 expansion towers. #4802 is supported on 8XX models only via the #5065 storage /PCI Expansion Tower, or the #5066 1.8m I/O Tower.
