IBM 4768 Product Support

The IBM 4768 is available on IBM Z mainframes (z14® only) as crypto feature Crypto Express6S (CEX6S), feature code (FC) 0893. Note that FC 0893 requires FC 3863 - CPACF Enablement (Central Processor Assist for Cryptographic Functions). CPACF is a set of cryptographic instructions providing improved performance through hardware acceleration. Using the cryptographic hardware, you gain security from using the CPACF and the Crypto feature through in-kernel cryptography APIs and, for Linux® on z Systems®, the libica cryptographic functions library.
