Coprocessors for <span class="keyword">iSeries</span></h1>
|

|
<div><p>The cryptographic coprocessor provides proven cryptographic services,
|
||
|
|
ensuring privacy and integrity, for developing secure e-business applications. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using an IBM<sup>®</sup> Cryptographic Coprocessor for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> adds
|
||
|
|
highly secure cryptographic processing capability to your system. If you have
|
||
|
|
a cryptographic coprocessor installed and varied on for your system, you can
|
||
|
|
use the cryptographic coprocessor to provide more secure key storage for your
|
||
|
|
certificate private keys. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the cryptographic coprocessor to store the private key for
|
||
|
|
a server or client certificate and for a local Certificate Authority (CA)
|
||
|
|
certificate. However, you cannot use the cryptographic coprocessor to store
|
||
|
|
a user certificate private key because this key must be stored on the user's
|
||
|
|
system. Also, you cannot use the coprocessor to store the private key for
|
||
|
|
an object signing certificate at this time. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can either store a certificate private key directly in the cryptographic
|
||
|
|
coprocessor, or you can use the cryptographic coprocessor master key to encrypt
|
||
|
|
the key and store it in a special key file. You can select these key storage
|
||
|
|
options as part of the process of creating or renewing a certificate. Also,
|
||
|
|
if you use the coprocessor to store a certificate's private key, you can change
|
||
|
|
the coprocessor device assignment for that key. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To use the cryptographic coprocessor for private key storage, you must
|
||
|
|
ensure that the coprocessor is varied on before using Digital Certificate
|
||
|
|
Manager (DCM). Otherwise, DCM does not provide the option for selecting a
|
||
|
|
storage location as part of the certificate creation or renewal process. </p>
