IBM® z/OS® Version 1 Release 11 ICSF PKCS#11 Cryptographic Module
IBM® Corporation - FIPS 140 #1470
The ICSF PKCS #11 module consists of software-based cryptographic algorithms, as well as symmetric and hashing algorithms provided by the CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF) and RSA Hardware clear key modular math cryptography provided through the Crypto Express3 card (CEX3A). The RSA hardware support is accessed through auxiliary module CSFINPVT which acts as a pipe between ICSF PKCS #11 and the cryptographic cards.
