netHSMElliptic Curve Cryptography
Elliptic curve cryptography relies on robust hardware
For organizations seeking advanced cryptographic strategies for protecting sensitive data, elliptic curve cryptography is a viable approach. This public key cryptography solution is based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields and is one of a variety of leading cryptographic strategies for providing encryption that cannot easily be compromised. nCipher provides the hardware and software resources to deploy solutions like elliptic curve cryptography,.
nCipher hardware supports elliptic curve cryptography
nCipher offers hardware security modules (HSMs) that enable organizations to deploy elliptic curve cryptography:
nCipher netHSM™ is a highly secure hardware security module (HSM) that attaches to a network and provides cryptographic resources for multiple servers, including support for elliptic curve cryptography. Authorized applications like PKI and authentication systems that need access to cryptographic keys protected by hardware can access netHSM via a secure connection. While dedicated HSMs are ideal for certain applications, the ability of netHSM to share information with several servers makes it a cost-effective option for deployment.
Beyond elliptic curve cryptography: nCipher solves a variety of encryption challenges
In addition to hardware solutions, nCipher provides software solutions for identity management and enterprise key management. nCipher keyAuthority provides centralized management for the generation and storage of cryptographic keys. By automating tasks such as the generation, distribution and retrieval of keys, keyAuthority reduces the cost of securing keys, allows organizations to enforce security policies consistently, and makes it simpler to comply with regulatory oversight. In the area of identity management, nCipher Provisor provides a complete solution that brings automation and centralization to tasks involved in adding, maintaining and removing user identities, as well as managing policies and access priveleges. And comprehensive audit reporting helps to further reduce risk and improve regulatory compliance.
nCipher also offers an enterprise PKI solution, key management software, PKI integration technology, an SSL accelerator, time stamping hardware and more.
