IBM 4758

The IBM 4758 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor is a secure cryptoprocessor implemented on a high-security, tamper resistant, programmable PCI board. Specialized cryptographic electronics, microprocessor, memory, and random number generator housed within a tamper-responding environment provide a highly secure subsystem in which data processing and cryptography can be performed.

IBM supplies two cryptographic-system implementations, and toolkits for custom application development:

  • The PKCS#11, version 2.01 implementation creates a high-security solution for application programs developed for this industry-standard API.
  • The IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture implementation provides many functions of special interest in the finance industry and a base on which custom processing and cryptographic functions can be added.

    • As of June 2005, the 4758 was discontinued and was replaced by an improved, faster model called the IBM 4764.
