RE: Cryptographic Co-Processor for V4R4 SPD - 2620

Here's an interesting tidbit.... Not too sure if it really gets you
anywhere, tho.....

Hardware assisted solution using the original cryptographic coprossessors

There is also an older hardware accelerated solution that  is still
supported and can provide a limited set of cryptographic capabilities.
Application (one of the following)

Customer written

*PLUS*

OS/400 cryptographic enablement

PRPQ 5799-FRF

*PLUS*

Cryptographic Coprocessors (1 or more of the following)

#2620 - Cryptographic Processor

#2628 - Cryptographic Processor-Commercial

(supports CDMF)

Looks like the 2620 requires the application to be written specifically to
use the co-processor.

Subject: Cryptographic Co-Processor for V4R4 SPD - 2620


Has anyone installed and used a cryptographic co-processor under V4R4 on a
SPD system?  We just purchased a used 2620 card.  Had IBM service rep
install it.  It shows up as available.  All required software is installed,
5759 - 34 & 35, 5769-AC3 and 5769-CE3.  We had SSL running before adding the
card and it was/is slow.  With the card installed and operational, it is
still slow.  How do I configure it?  We have created nothing in
configuration to use it and I cannot find out what to create.   Please point
me in the right direction.
