nCipher delivers leading solutions for data protection software
While data protection software can provide application, file and database encryption, these applications cannot provide the highest level of security without hardware and software that provides protection for cryptographic keys. Keys are used to encrypt and decrypt data; when they are stolen or used without authorization, data protection software becomes ineffective. nCipher offers a line of hardware security modules that can provide a physical environment for key security. nCipher netHSM is a network-attached device that can be shared by multiple servers, providing a cost-effective and highly secure solution for protecting the keys used in a variety of applications such as PKI, authentication systems, Web service, SSL and more. netHSM is FIPS 140-2 level 2 validated and offers performance up to 2000 transactions per second (TPS). nCipher nShield is dedicated module for advanced security. Providing a tamper-resistant hardware environment for managing and storing keys, and is validated at FIPS 140-2 level 2 and 3. With a broad range of performance options — up to 4000 TPS — nShield is viewed as a benchmark in hardware security modules. nCipher also offers accelerators and offload cards for more effective SSL encryption, as well as time stamping solutions and document signing and encryption hardware.
Key management solutions complements data protection software
In addition to solutions for the physical protection of the keys used in encryption software, nCipher also offers an enterprise key management solution. nCipher keyAuthority helps to simplify the many time-consuming tasks involved in managing keys for a variety of deployments, including public key encryption and PKI deployments. By automating the generation, distribution, retrieval and storage of keys, keyAuthority reduces the cost and administrative burden associated with these tasks. It also improves security by consistently enforcing security policies throughout the enterprise and making regulatory compliance easier to manage.
