iSeries I/O adapters and controllers 359
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486IOA.fm
program (no-charge 5722-AC3) must be installed to set the key length prior to
using the adapter.
The #4802 is only supported in the #5065 Storage/PCI Expansion Tower and the
#5066 1.8 M I/O Tower.
The #4800 is not supported on the iSeries Models 820, 830, 840, and 890 nor in
#503X/#5077 Migration Tower II and their attached expansion towers. Convert
each #4800 PCI Cryptographic Processor installed in a Model 720, 730, or 740
or attached expansion towers to a #4802 PCI Cryptographic Processor.
The #4802 is available worldwide.
#4805 PCI Cryptographic Accelerator
The #4805 PCI Cryptographic Accelerator feature provides improved
performance for high transaction rate secure Web applications, which use the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
Establishing SSL/TLS secure Web connections requires very compute intensive
cryptographic processing.
You can use the Cryptographic Accelerator to offload cryptographic processing.
SSL/TLS secure Web connections typically protect information (for example,
credit card number) as it is transferred over the Internet, for example between a
Web browser and a server.
There is a maximum of two #4805 PCI Cryptographic Accelerators per IOP. They
are restricted to a maximum of one per IOP if the IOP also drives a 1 Gbps
Ethernet LAN card (#2743, #2760, #5700, or #5701).
Note: On new shipments from the plant, the #4802 is shipped with the system.
Due to temperature requirements (card temperature must not drop below 5
degrees Fahrenheit (-15 degrees Celsius)), it is not installed.
FIPS: Applications that require a FIPS 140 certified, tamper-resistant module
for storing cryptographic keys or require financial PIN processing should
continue to use the IBM 4758-023 Cryptographic Coprocessor PCI card
(#4801 or #4802).
FIPS 140-1 is a U.S. Government National Institute of Standards &
Technology (NIST) administered standard and certification program for
cryptographic modules.
