IBM 4769-001 Cryptographic Coprocessor Security Module

IBM Corporation - FIPS 140 #4079

historicalLevel 4

The IBM 4769 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor Hardware Security Module is in the form of a programmable PCIe card that offloads computationally intensive cryptographic processes from the hosting server, and performs sensitive tasks within a secured tamper responding hardware boundary. The evolutionary design builds on previous generations of IBM cryptographic technology, improving performance over its predecessors. The IBM 4769 is supported on select IBM Z processors as the Crypto Express7S feature.
