We are pushing our "host security module" processing off our mainframe back to 
our card issuer processor, and I have a couple of questions.

If we use ICSF just for TLS and the like, does this still require the DES and 
RSA keys to be loaded?  We already don't have AES or ECC master keys, so I am 
thinking we wouldn't need DES or RSA keys either.  But someone who should know 
seems to think we still need master keys, even if we're not using it as a 
crypto coprocessor.

Other question is, can TLS encryption processes that use ICSF services work at 
all if there is no crypto card at all?
