Radoslaw, The RCE support is currently only for Chinese algorithms. As I wrote in my April newsletter:
"Another potentially significant capability is the new Remote Device support. There is a new ICSF Option, REMOTEDEVICE, which allows you to define ‘standalone devices that perform geography-specific cryptography’. You can define up to 16 of these remote devices, via IP address and port number. Basically this allows you to route work, from ICSF, to a specialized device delivering a unique algorithm. Currently the support is only for devices that provide the ‘Chinese SMx family of algorithms’. I suspect that this is not a new direction for IBM, allowing ICSF to route work to distributed devices, but more an acknowledgement of the realities of supporting crypto in China."
