“Enabling Secure Solutions for the Linux Platform.“
“IBM is contributing to the open source community the Linux
operating system device driver for the IBM 4758 PCI Cryptographic
Coprocessor (4758). With this release, we hope to foster further
discussion and interest in Linux-based applications which require
the highest levels of assurance and security.”
“The 4758 secure coprocessor is a state-of-the-art,
tamper-sensing and responding, programmable PCI card. Its
specialized cryptographic electronics, along with a microprocessor,
memory, and random number generator are housed within a
tamper-responding environment to provide a highly secure subsystem
in which data processing and cryptography can be performed.”
