FIPS 140 validation is critical for superior encryption security
The Federal Information Processing Standard 140, or FIPS 140, is considered the de facto benchmark in validating the effectiveness of cryptographic hardware. These products are critical to the success of encryption strategies to protect sensitive information. Organizations use the FIPS 140 standard to ensure that the hardware they are selecting meets the standards and requirements for the highest level of protection. In choosing solutions to protect and manage cryptographic keys, accelerate SSL transactions, and time stamp and sign documents, enterprises can be confident selecting nCIpher; our products meet or exceed the FIPS 140 standard.
nCipher delivers a range of FIPS 140 validated products
As one of the world's leading providers of cryptographic solutions, nCipher offers a variety of products that have received FIPS 140 approval. The nCipher Classified Document Security Server is an FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified product that offers a highly streamlined and cost-efficient method for authenticating documents using PDF files. This innovative server provides a digital signature, time stamp and encryption functionality and can be easily deployed in a variety of network configurations. nCipher's SSL acceleration products also offer FIPS 140 functionality. The nFast SSL Offload Card offloads SSL operations from the server to this device, helping to reduce the demand for server capacity and thereby allowing more widespread use of SSL technology throughout the organization. nCipher's Hardware Security Modules, such as netHSM, also offer FIPS validated security (140-2 Level 3) and provide a shareable cryptographic resource that enables organizations to deploy encryption across multiple applications or servers.
Additional solutions from nCipher
In addition to FIPS 140 compatible devices, nCipher offers enterprises a broad range of security solutions. For example, nCipher keyAuthority is a key management product that offers centralized key management capabilities and help lower the cost of providing greater security. By automating many of the tasks involved with key management, such as creating, storing, retrieving and archiving keys, keyAuthority minimizes the administrative burden of managing keys, reducing the cost of providing superior security. keyAuthority also helps minimize risk and improve regulatory compliance by allowing administrators and security personnel to enforce security policies more easily. nCipher also provides identity management software that streamlines user management and provisioning.
nCipher also provides solutions for public key encryption, timestamping, encryption security software, data encryption software, and an SSL solution and SSL accelerator for greater security and system performance.
