Trusted key entry (TKE)

The z10 BC server may have a Crypto Express2 feature for applications where
extensive data security is required. For these systems, there is a separate console
available for authorized access to the Crypto Express2 feature. This console is
named the Trusted Key Entry (TKE) workstation.
The TKE workstation, FC 0839, includes a system unit, 510.5 mm (20 inch) flat
panel display, mouse, keyboard, and line cord. The built-in Ethernet adapter
supports a link data rate of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. A DVD RAM drive is available
for installation of Licensed Machine Code.
The TKE workstation attaches to the customer LAN, providing a security-rich,
flexible method of providing master key and operational key entry to locally and
remotely managed Cryptographic Coprocessor features.
TKE with optional Smart Card Reader, FC 0885 or FC 0887, allows access to and
use of confidential data on the Smart Card, protected by a user defined personal
identification number (PIN) code providing secure storage, access, transport and
entry of master and operational key parts into the TKE workstation. The following
characteristics pertain to the Smart Card Reader:
1. The Smart Card Reader (SCR) is an optional security device that attaches to
the TKE.
2. The Smart Card Reader provides swipe card function thus further restricting
access to the TKE.
3. Feature Code 0885, contains two Smart Card Readers, two serial port 'Y'
adapters, two serial cables, and 20 blank Smart Cards. The cables provide both
power source for the SCR and the communication path between the SCR and
the TKE workstation.
4. A TKE workstation and the TKE 5.0 or later level code are co-requisites for
ordering the Smart Card reader.
5. Any existing TKE workstation with a code level lower than 5.0 will have to be
replaced with a FC 0839 workstation and FC 0854 code (level 5.3) to work with
a TKE workstation ordered for your z10 BC server.
6. FC 0888 provides the ability to order additional blank Smart Cards. The Smart
Card Reader is a co-requisite for ordering additional Smart Cards.
To use the TKE function on z10 BC servers, the Crypto Express2 feature, TKE 5.3
code (FC 0854), and CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (FC 3863) must be
installed.
