4769-001 Cryptographic Coprocessor (FC EJ35 and EJ37 for BSC; CCIN C0AF)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EJ35 and EJ37.
Overview
The 4769-001 Cryptographic Coprocessor is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3 (Gen3) x4 adapter. The secure-key adapter provides both cryptographic coprocessor and cryptographic accelerator functions in a single PCIe card. The 4769-001 Cryptographic Coprocessor is suited to applications that require high-speed, security-sensitive, RSA acceleration, cryptographic operations for data encryption and digital signing. Additionally, the adapter is useful in secure management, use of cryptographic keys, or custom cryptographic applications. It provides secure storage of cryptographic keys in a tamper-resistant hardware security module that is designed to meet FIPS 140-2 level 4 security requirements. The adapter runs in dedicated mode only.
FC EJ35 and EJ37 are identical cards and have the same CCIN of C0AF. The different feature codes indicate whether a blind swap cassette is used and the type of cassette. FC EJ35 is not a blind-swap cassette, while FC EJ37 indicates a generation 3 blind-swap cassette.
