The PCICC is the Crypto Coprocessor and the PCICA is the Crypto Accelerator
which is faster and made for the demands of SSL encryption. SSL will
still work with PCICC but not as fast.

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use a crypto card with an IFL
engine? We have a z800 with two standard processors and two IFL
processors. We want to add a crypto card so that SuSE SLES8 on an LPAR
with the IFLs can offload some of the security processing.
IBM's redbook SG24-6870-00 "zSeries Crypto Guide Update" can be read two
ways: one way says they will work and one way says they won't.
Also, if it does work, how many cards should we get and what kind? PCICC
or PCICA?
