Host Security Module
The host security module supports encryption security
Encryption has risen as a way to provide strong protection for sensitive information, and the host security module, or hardware security module, is an important part of the encryption formula to protect the underlying cryptographic keys, and accelerate the speed at which SSL transactions are performed. The host security module offers a hardware solution for maximum protection of these vital assets. click here to learn more about nCipher host security module solutions.
nCipher delivers leading host security module products
nCipher is a leading provider of software and hardware solutions for the secure enterprise. nCipher's host security module (HSM) line of products delivers FIPS 140-2 level protection for cryptographic keys. They also improve system performance by reducing the demand on server capacity, and scale easily to meet the needs of growing and dynamic organizations. Using a common key management framework, nCipher's host security modules are completely compatible with each other, allowing organizations to work in combination according to the needs of the organization. Because nCipher HSMs provide maximum flexibility, organizations can more easily deploy them to protect and leverage existing investments, realigning and reallocating devices to extend "hard security" throughout the system. Each nCipher module undergoes rigorous testing to ensure interoperability with leading application servers, Web servers, PKI and other third-party software.
A comprehensive set of host security module technology
The nCipher host security module family is anchored by netHSM a highly secure network-attached HSM that offers a shared cryptographic resource for multiple servers. Authorized applications that need access fto hardware-protected cryptographic keys can share access to netHSM via secure connections, providing a cost-efficient deployment resource for a range of scenarios. netHSM is validated for FIPS 140-2 Level 3, and offers cost-effective deployment for a variety of encryption scenarios. nCipher's nShield provides a dedicated HSM for advanced secure key management. It's tamper-resistant hardware environment provides superior key protection and widely viewed as a benchmark device in the field of cryptographic modules. nCipher payShield provides a level of security required by a number of applications in the security-stringent financial payments industry. And HSMs provides a platform for OEMs that need an embedded host security module to perform cryptographic operations or secure other sensitive data.
nCipher also delivers products for PKI integration, time stamping, PCI data security, encryption software, digital signature software, and more.
