PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor (FC 4807, FC 4808, and FC 4809;
CCIN 4765)
Learn about the specifications for the PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor.
The PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor adapters (feature codes (FC) 4807, FC 4808, and FC 4809) provide
the secure-key cryptographic accelerator and the Cryptographic Coprocessor functions in a single PCIe
card. The coprocessor functions are targeted to banking and finance applications. The financial personal
identification number (PIN) processing and Euro pay, Mastercard, Visa (EMV) credit card functions are
provided. EMV is a standard for the integrated-chip based credit cards. The secure-key accelerator
functions are targeted to improving the performance of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transactions. The (FC
4807, FC 4808, and FC 4809 provide the security and performance required to support emerging digital
signature applications. The host application access to the cryptographic services of the (FC 4807, FC 4808,
and FC 4809 are by the Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) application programming interfaces
(APIs) and by the Public-Key Cryptographic Standards (PKCS11). The (FC 4807, FC 4808, and FC 4809
provide secure storage of cryptographic keys in a tamper-resistant hardware security module, which is
designed to meet FIPS PUB 140-2 on security requirements.
The FC 4807, FC 4808, and FC 4809 are the same adapter but the different FCs indicate if a blind-swap
cassette is used and the type of the cassette.
v FC 4807 is not a blind-swap cassette
v FC 4808 is a generation-3 blind-swap cassette
v FC 4809 is a generation-4 blind-swap cassette
IBM PCIe Cryptographic adapter highlights:
v PCIe 4x standard height - half length
v Integrated Dual PPC processors
v ASIC (Accelerator engines)
v Supports the Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) application programming interfaces (APIs)
and the Public-Key Cryptographic Standards (PKCS11) on the single firmware load.
v 3072, 4096 bit RSA CRT HW (including routing)
v SHA 256 required HW or firmware within secure module (including routing)
v Secure Key AES 128, 192, 256 bit keys
v Fast path – symmetric and asymmetric (secure and clear key)
