What is SafeNet Luna HSM?
The SafeNet Luna SA is an Ethernet-attached HSM (Hardware Security Module) Server designed to protect critical cryptographic keys and to accelerate sensitive cryptographic operations across a wide range of security applications.
What is PCIe HSM?
Luna PCIe Hardware Security Module (HSM) from Thales Trusted Cyber Technologies (TCT) is the choice for government agencies when generating, storing, protecting and managing cryptographic keys used to secure sensitive data and critical applications.
What is HSM connectivity?
A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a physical device that provides a secure environment for the storage of cryptographic keys and for performing operations using these keys.
What is HSM driver?
The central task of an HSM crypto driver (CRYPTO HSM) is to rapidly route operational instructions to the HSM firm- ware. The driver and the HSM firmware communicate via the microcontroller’s shared memory.
What is Gemalto Luna?
Gemalto SafeNet Luna SA is the choice for enterprises requiring strong security for digital signatures, cryptographic key storage, transactional acceleration, certificate signing, code signing, bulk key. generation, data encryption, DNSSEC, and more. PRODUCT BRIEF.
Why do I need a HSM?
A hardware security module (HSM) is a physical device that provides extra security for sensitive data. This type of device is used to provision cryptographic keys for critical functions such as encryption, decryption and authentication for the use of applications, identities and databases.
What can be stored in HSM?
cryptographic keys
HSMs allow you to store your organization’s cryptographic keys and create the PKI certificates that are necessary to enable user, device and software authentication. Furthermore, the authentication processes themselves can occur within the HSM’s internal environment.
Why do we need a HSM?
What is the benefit of HSM?
Advantages to HSMs Meeting security standards and regulations. High levels of trust and authentication. Tamper-resistant, tamper-evident, and tamper-proof systems to provide extremely secure physical systems. Providing the highest level of security for sensitive data and cryptographic keys on the market.
What is SafeNet encryption?
SafeNet Encryption solutions enable you to protect and control sensitive data as it expands in volume, type and location, from the data center to virtual environments and the cloud while improving compliance and governance visibility and efficiencies through centralized management and policy enforcement.
How do you use SafeNet tokens?
