Error Checking and Correction (ECC) protection on DDR3 memory
Cryptographic key generation and random number generation
Over 300 cryptographic algorithms and modes
Byte wide parity protection on all internal registers and data paths wider than two bits
RSA/ECC engines are protected by a duplicate engine which predicts the CRC of the result
SHA, MD5, AES and DES engines are protected by running the same operation on two
independent engines and the outputs are compared cycle by cycle.

Linux driver and firmware information
The 4767-002 Cryptographic Coprocessor's Linux drivers and firmware are not provided by the Linux
distribution. To install and or update the Linux drivers and firmware, the user must download the Power
Systems Linux drivers and firmware package. Refer to the IBM Power Systems information on the
4767-002 Cryptographic Coprocessor and follow the Linux drivers and firmware instructions at: Power
Systems Information for the 4767-002 Cryptographic Coprocessor (https://www-03.ibm.com/security/
