Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The IBM 4767 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor Hardware Security Module is in the form of a programmable PCIe card that offloads computationally intensive cryptographic processes from the hosting server, and performs sensitive tasks within a secured tamper responding hardware boundary. This evolutionary design builds on previous generations of IBM cryptographic technology, improving performance over its predecessors. The IBM 4767 is supported on select IBM Z processors as the Crypto Express5S feature and on select x86 systems and Power servers.
