Security-rich services for sensitive workloads
The IBM PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessors are a family of high-performance hardware security modules (HSMs) that provide security-rich services for sensitive workloads and deliver high throughput for cryptographic functions. The IBM 4770, 4769, 4768, and 4767 HSMs are programmable PCIe cards that offload computationally intensive cryptographic processes from the host server and securely perform sensitive tasks unsuitable for less secure computers. The cryptographic technology enables secure payment and Internet transactions and is suited for a wide variety of secure cryptographic applications on certain IBM zSystems™ mainframes, and on x64 and IBM Power® servers with specific operating systems.
Benefits
Improve performance
IBM cryptographic coprocessors provide significant performance and architectural advantages while enabling future growth.
Keep data safe and secure
The secure module is protected by a tamper responding design and includes sensors to protect against attacks involving power manipulation, temperature manipulation and penetration of the module.
Choose your model
Available on select IBM zSystems servers, on z/OS® or Linux; IBM LinuxONE; x64 servers with certain RHEL releases; and IBM Power servers (depending on the model).
What's new For enterprises and financial institutions that handle sensitive business and customer information, the IBM 4770 / CEX8S Cryptographic Coprocessor is the latest generation and fastest of IBM's PCIe hardware security modules (HSMs); designed to perform top-level security processing and high-speed cryptographic functions, offloaded from the central processor and carried out with a high throughput rate that reduces latency and eliminates bottlenecks. This newest coprocessor offers FPGA updates and Dilithium acceleration and is currently available on IBM z16™ only.Top-level security processing for sensitive business and customer information
