CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF)
CPACF is a set of cryptographic instructions providing improved performance. The servers support
different algorithms:
- On all IBM Systems:
- SHA-1 algorithm is available.
- SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 algorithms are available.
- AES, DES, and TDES algorithms for clear and protected keys.
- On IBM z15 and later:
- ECC algorithm for P-256, P-384, P-521, C25519, and C448 for clear and protected keys are available.
- On IBM z14 and later:
- SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512, SHAKE128, and SHAKE256 algorithms are available.
- True random number generator is available.
