Yes i know, therefor i ask if anyone already has done something similar. Or even if someone in-the-known can tell me if the 4758 and 4764 are similar in the api so that it would be easy to change the existing 4758 driver... > > Considering that the core market of the 4764 and the > CCA api is at the > ATM Pin/Transaction space, why would you expect IBM > to do openSSL > integration. Easy - because IBM advertise the card not only for PIN transactions but also for SSL Certificates - let me quote http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/rzajc/rzajcco4758.htm QUOTE "You can use a Cryptographic Coprocessor along with DCM to generate and store private keys associated with SSL digital certificates. A Cryptographic Coprocessor provides a performance assist enhancement by handling SSL private key processing during SSL session establishment." And as you should be aware of, the most common webservers use openssl libaries for SSL... BTW: I even believe that IBM already programmed such an engine driver (for a specific project maybe), but since IBM is a pretty big company the right hand doesnt know what the left hand does.. =) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
