HSM SafeNet

A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a dedicated encryption processor designed to protect the lifecycle of cryptographic keys. CertiSur distributes the Thales SafeNet HSM line for organizations that are most security-conscious.

What is a Hardware Security Module? ¿Qué es un Hardware Security Module?

A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a dedicated encryption processor, specially designed for the protection of the lifecycle of encryption keys. HSMs function as trust anchors that protect the cryptographic infrastructure of some of the world's most security-conscious organizations, through the management, processing, and secure storage of cryptographic keys within a device protected with a tamper-proof seal.

Why use a Hardware Security Module? ¿Por qué usar un Hardware Security Module?

HSMs provide protection to transactions, identities, and applications by safeguarding cryptographic keys and providing encryption, decryption, authentication, and digital signature services for a wide range of applications.

  • They comply with compliance requirements for Blockchain, GDPR, IoT, paper-to-digital initiatives, PCI DSS, digital signatures, DNSSEC, hardware key storage, transaction acceleration, certificate signing, code or document signing, massive key generation, data encryption, and more.
  • Keys are always generated and stored within the FIPS-validated device, resistant to intrusion and tampering, providing the highest levels of access control.
  • They transfer and accelerate cryptographic operations to a dedicated processor that eliminates bottlenecks and maximizes application performance.

SafeNet HSM Products Productos SafeNet HSM

  • SafeNet USB HSM — formerly Luna G5, offers industry-leading key management in a portable device with USB interface. All key materials are kept exclusively within the hardware boundaries. Its small form factor and on-board key storage make it especially attractive for those who need to physically remove and store the device containing PKI root keys.
  • SafeNet Luna Network HSM — high-security, tamper-resistant devices connected to the network that offer market-leading performance. They store, protect, and manage cryptographic keys to accelerate cryptographic operations, ensure key lifecycle, and act as the root of trust for the entire encryption infrastructure.
  • SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM — is incorporated directly into a device or application server for a cost-effective and easy-to-integrate security and cryptographic acceleration solution. All digital signatures and verification operations are performed within the HSM to increase performance and maintain key security throughout its lifecycle.
