IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#4801) PCI Crypto Coprocessor
#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.
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 automatic teller machine (ATM) networks
Basic Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) 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).
