Product Description
IBM EPG6 PCIe3 4770 Crypto Coprocessor BSC-Gen3
The IBM EPG6 PCIe3 4770 Crypto Coprocessor BSC-Gen3 (FC EPG6, CCIN C138) is a high-security PCIe Gen3 x4 adapter designed as a tamper-resistant Hardware Security Module (HSM) for IBM Power Systems servers. It provides secure key management, cryptographic acceleration, and enhanced protection for sensitive data and transactions in IBM i, AIX, and Linux environments.
As the BSC-Gen3 generation of the 4770 family, the EPG6 offloads cryptographic operations from the host CPU while keeping sensitive key material protected within a physically secure boundary.
