Additional Information

ProtectServer at a Glance:

Customizable and Scalable

Integrate ProtectServer HSMs on either the same or distinct sub-nets, and share between different networks in order to protect multiple business domains with a broad range of symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic performance levels.

Extensive APIs

Users and developers can facilitate seamless integration of cryptography and HSMs into a large array of pre-integrated third-party solutions or custom applications. The customization Software Development Kit (SDK) enables the development, download, and storage of custom-specific functionality modules (FMs) inside the secure boundary of the HSM..

Software Emulator

Developers can test and debug custom firmware from the convenience of a desktop computer with the full-featured software emulator, rounding out the flexible development tools. Additionally, test applications without the need to install a ProtectServer HSM. When ready, simply install the HSM and redirect communication to the hardware – no software changes are necessary.

Reliable Hardware

Benefit from superior performance with reliable, high quality components, and a common architecture for all ProtectServer HSMs.

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated

ProtectServer HSMs contain a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated cryptographic module to perform secure cryptographic processing in a high-assurance fashion. Built for industry standard security applications, ProtectServer HSM functions within a tamper-protected environment, providing secure storage for highly sensitive information, cryptographic keys, PINs, and data.

Native Blockchain Algorithm Support

Encrypt digital wallets and sign blockchain entries with ProtectServer HSMs, which support BIP32, Milenage and Tuak algorithms and SECP256k1 elliptic curve.

Swappable Dual AC Power Supplies

ProtectServer 3+ External HSMs employ dual swappable AC power supplies for high-availability data centers to help protect against power failures, and enable business continuity by providing the ability to connect the appliance to two separate power sources to safeguard against the possible malfunction of one of the sources. This provides the necessary flexibility to perform maintenance, or replace a failed power supply or power feed with the assurance that your device will continue to operate.
