IBM PCIe Cryptographic adapter highlights:
v PCIe 4x standard height - half length
v Integrated Dual PPC processors
v ASIC (Accelerator engines)
v Supports the Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) application programming interfaces (APIs)
and the Public-Key Cryptographic Standards (PKCS11) on the single firmware load.
v 3072, 4096 bit RSA CRT HW (including routing)
v SHA 256 required HW or firmware within secure module (including routing)
v Secure Key AES 128, 192, 256 bit keys
v Fast path – symmetric and asymmetric (secure and clear key)
For details about slot priorities and placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for
your system.

Placement information
To view information about the PCI adapter placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic
collection for your system.
I/O bus architecture
PCI Express v1.1a
Storage
Shipping and storage temperature below -35°C ± 60°C (-31°F ± 140°F) or above 1°C ± 60°C
(33.8°F ± 140°F) limits.
Operation (ambient in system)
This component collects and controls all the sensors to prevent the physical penetration and any
abnormal environmental condition within its wide operational range of 10°C ± 35°C (50°F ±
95°F).
Tamper protection range
Outside of the tamper protection range limits of -38°C ±3°C (-41.8°F to -31°F) to +90°C ± 2°C
(190.4°F to 197.6°F), the card will be permanently disable.
Handling requirements
Each PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor includes a certified device key. This electronic key, which is
stored in the adapter's battery-powered and protected memory, digitally signs status messages to
confirm that the PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor is genuine and that no tampering has occurred.
