Successful enterprise PKI deployments require innovative technology
Creating trust with customers and partners has become increasingly difficult in recent years as high-profile breaches of network security have occurred with some regularity. Seeking ways to satisfy customer and regulatory demand for increased security, organizations are increasingly deploying a public key infrastructure, or PKI. For the enterprise, a critical component of a (PKI) is the hardware technology employed to protect the cryptographic keys. .

nCipher delivers leading enterprise PKI hardware solutions
As a world-class provider of data security and encryption products for leading organizations, nCipher offers both hardware and software solutions that simplify and optimize enterprise PKI configurations. Because key security must be of the highest importance for enterprise PKI, nCipher offers a range of cryptographic hardware designed to increase security while improving performance and minimizing cost.
nCipher nShield offers advanced key security in a dedicated hardware security module, or HSM, with a FIPS 140-2 validation at Levels 2 and 3. A highly secure, tamper-resistant hardware environment helps ensure that keys are effectively managed and safely stored. The nShield product line offers speeds up to 4000 transactions per second, helping to remove bottlenecks by offloading encryption processing from central servers.
nCipher also offers several SSL acceleration devices to improve performance of SSL operations and enterprise PKI productivity. The nFast SSL Offload Card is a high performance PCI intended to replace a server's network interface card (NIC) and handle all encrypted data, while the nFast SSL Accelerator is a PCI card that can speed asymmetric processing without replacing the NIC. nCipher's nForce PCI card offers the most tamper-resistant SSL acceleration with increased key security. These hardware solutions may be deployed individually or in concert to achieve optimal enterprise PKI performance levels.
Efficient enterprise PKI relies on nCipher software
For greater security and management of cryptographic keys in enterprise PKI, nCipher offers keyAuthority. This robust software allows the enterprise to centrally and automatically generate, store and distribute keys. reducing the cost of key management and improving the level of PKI efficiency. With a highly scalable architecture, keyAuthority enables resilient key management and allows distribution of keys to thousands of end-points distributed geographically throughout the enterprise.
nCipher also provides RFC3161-compatible timestamp technology, solutions for public key encryption, support for file encryption and database encryption, and more.
