IBM Crypto Cards
The IBM PCIeCC3 (CEX6S) is designed to be certified at FIPS 140-2 Level 4, the highest level of certification achievable for commercial cryptographic devices.
CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF)
The CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF) delivers high-speed on-chip cryptography.
CPACF provides the following capabilities:
- It provides a set of symmetric cryptographic functions and hashing functions for data privacy and confidentiality, data integrity and random number generation
- It enhances the encryption/decryption performance of clear-key operations for SSL, VPN, and data storing applications
