Phil, OUTSTANDING catch...! Found out the feature is $5000. That's an awful lot of money anyway (depending on the performance gains), but particularly if the encryption is flawed... Maybe the 4801/2 are more secure, but... ? Does anyone have any knowledge or experience if this feature gives significant performance gains...?!? (Again, primarily for VPN, and such.) jt | -----Original Message----- | From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com | [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Hall, Philip | Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 10:15 AM | To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' | Subject: RE: Encryption co-processor (was RE: Encryption basics) | Importance: High | | | > There is a PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor (feature codes #4801 | > and #4802) currently available on the 8xx and 270 models. | > I have no experience with it, but the hardware you're | > referring to does still exist. | | I hope it doesn't use the same hardware as this IBM product... | | http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rnc1/descrack/ | | Highlighted by this article | | http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1645000/1645552.stm | | --phil
