|
||
|
|
<div><p>The 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator is available for customers to
|
||
|
|
use with a V5R2 (or later) system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator provides a competitive option to customers
|
||
|
|
who do not require the high security of a Cryptographic Coprocessor, but
|
||
|
|
do need the high cryptographic performance that hardware acceleration provides
|
||
|
|
to offload a host processor. The 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator has been designed
|
||
|
|
to improve the performance of those SSL applications that do not require secure
|
||
|
|
key storage.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can also use the 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator to offload processing
|
||
|
|
for DES, Triple DES, SHA-1, and RSA encryption methods, when using Cryptographic
|
||
|
|
Services APIs. See the <a href="../apis/catcrypt.htm">Cryptographic
|
||
|
|
Services APIs</a> for more information.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator does not provide tamper-resistant storage
|
||
|
|
for keys, like the Cryptographic Coprocessor hardware. Depending on the model
|
||
|
|
of system you have, you can install up to a maximum of eight Cryptographic
|
||
|
|
Accelerators. You can install a maximum of four Cryptographic Accelerators
|
||
|
|
per partition.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator provides special hardware which is optimized
|
||
|
|
for RSA encryption (modular exponentiation) with data key lengths up to 2048
|
||
|
|
bits. It also provides functions for DES, TDES, and SHA-1 encryption methods.
|
||
|
|
The 2058 Accelerator uses multiple RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman algorithm)
|
||
|
|
engines.</p>

In this scenario, a company orders and installs 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator is a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) card. This card is specially designed to accelerate the very compute intensive processing required when establishing a SSL/TLS session. The scenario specifies the steps this company makes to get the card configured to enhance the SSL performance of its system.</li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajcplan2058.htm">Plan for the 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Depending on the model of server you have, you can install up to
|
||
|
|
a maximum of eight IBM<sup>®</sup> Cryptographic Accelerators. You must ensure that
|
||
|
|
your server meets the hardware an software requirements to use the Cryptographic
|
||
|
|
Accelerator.</li>

|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajcconfig2058.htm">Configure the 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
You must create a device description so that i5/OS™ SSL can
|
||
|

direct RSA cryptographic operations to the 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator.
|

You can create a device description by using the Create Device Description
