Hardware Security Modules

The hardware security module hsm is a special trusted network computer performing a variety of cryptographic operations.

Hardware security modules. Satisfy widely recognized government and industry mandates for financial healthcare and other sensitive data. Hardware security modules hsms are hardened tamper resistant hardware devices that strengthen encryption practices by generating keys encrypting and decrypting data and creating and verifying digital signatures. Nshield hardware security modules hsms provide a hardened tamper resistant environment for secure cryptographic processing key generation and protection encryption hsm key management and more. Our hardware security module products nshield delivers the industry s most comprehensive and advanced hardware security modules.

Learn more about dedicated hsm pricing. An hsm is a dedicated hardware device that is managed separately from the operating system. A hardware security module hsm is a physical computing device that safeguards and manages digital keys performs encryption and decryption functions for digital signatures strong authentication and other cryptographic functions. For years hardware security modules have been used to securely manage encryption keys within an organization s own data centers.

Nshield hardware security modules are available in three fips 140 2 certified form factors nshield hsms support a variety of deployment scenarios. A hardware security module is a secure crypto processor focused on providing cryptographic keys and also provides accelerated cryptographic operations by means of these keys. Some hardware security modules hsms are certified at various fips 140 2 levels. Azure dedicated hsm allows you to do key management on a hardware security module that you control in the cloud.

These modules traditionally come in the form of a plug in card or an external device that attaches directly to a computer or network server. It seems to be obvious that cryptographic operations must be performed in a trusted environment.
