Functionality Modules

The K5 cryptographic engine is based on the ARM processor. The K6 cryptographic engine is based on the PowerPC processor. As a result, any FMs built for the PSE/PSI-E (K5) HSMs will not run on the SafeNet ProtectServer Network and PCIe HSMs. You must rebuild your existing FMs to run on the PowerPC (K6) platform. This requires a Linux workstation or VM and some changes to your source files, as described in FM Migration .
