Thanks. But what about the "off-z" platforms?

Subject: Re: IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) for Linux
ICSF is an implementor of CCA, as are the APIs under Linux on System z. The
teams that maintain the host libraries (both for z/OS and Linux on z) do work
in parallel to maintain the CCA interface. Both have some implementation
specific APIs (such as CSNBKRL for the Linux implementation or CSFIQF for
ICSF), but they are maintained in parallel.

I see that Linux on z has support for the "ICSF equivalent" API IBM Common Cryptographic
Architecture (CCA) for Linux. I assume the same cryptographic facilities that are used for ICSF on
z/OS are also used for CCA on zLinux. It looks like something similar is available for Intel based
Linux (RHEL and SLES), as well as Windows Server 2012 R2: "CCA Basic Services Reference and
Guide for the IBM 4767 and IBM 4765 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessors"
(http://www-03.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/pdfs/bs_latest_edition.pdf)?
Does anyone actually use this? Is the API kept up to date with ICSF?
