Public key encryption delivers effective enterprise security
Public key encryption has become an increasingly popular and effective means of securing enterprise data. Yet deployment of this technology brings with it certain challenges. Organizations must take great care to secure the cryptographic keys used in encrypting and decrypting information. If they are lost or stolen, critical information may disappear forever or be used to attack and damage the organization. Public key encryption can consume large amounts of processor resources — this can not only slow system performance but make encrypted information less available. , nCipher solutions for public key encryption offer hardware-based products that address these challenges, and allow for easy and central management, in order to minimize costs and reduce risks.

nCipher leads the industry in public key encryption solutions
nCipher delivers highly secure and robust cryptographic solutions for many of the world's leading organizations. With nCipher, enterprises can deploy public key encryption technology with greater ease and minimal impact on servers, allowing for more widespread use of this powerful technology. Using nCipher's hardware security modules, or HSMs, organizations can provide superior protection for cryptographic keys by storing them away from the network in a discrete and highly secure tamper-resistant physical environment.
nCipher's nShield is a line of dedicated HSMs designed to enhance security in a range of applications, from PKI and database encryption to content security and secure authentication. With an FIPS 140-2 security validation at Level 2 and 3, nShield and can handle up to 4000 transactions per second. nCipher also delivers SSL acceleration products that enable organizations to maintain or improve system performance by offloading processor-hungry encryption operations such as SSL to dedicated hardware.
Public key infrastructure requires robust encryption software
nCipher's keyAuthority software centralizes and automates the creation and distribution of cryptographic keys. keyAuthority generates, stores, archives backs up and retrieves keys from a central location and can distribute them across a geographically dispersed enterprise to the many applications that require them. This centralized approach helps improve security and minimize the administrative burden and cost of managing thousands of keys.
nCipher also provides solutions for PCI audit and PCI data security, Microsoft PKI and Windows PKI, SSL security, and more.
