A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is secured hardware in which sensitive (key) material is stored, and encryption keys are generated and managed. For example, the private key of a digital certificate. One function of the HSM is to separate the encryption keys from the data and application. Hardware Security Modules can be used to secure any environment, meet compliance requirements, create trust and accelerate digital transformation. Very important, because hackers look for these encryption keys to steal your trade secrets and data.
All this with a wide range of solutions for encryption, key management, tokenisation, payment security solutions, the Internet of Things meaning machine-to-machine communication, database protection, reference management, secrets management, authentication and time-stamping. With security solutions for public cloud services and container environments, Entrust protects organisations' data and applications from start to finish.
Security you can trust
The following Entrust Data Protection Solutions are available to you: Entrust's nShield hardware security modules (HSMs) are hardened, tamper-proof devices that protect your company's most sensitive data. These FIPS 140-2 certified modules perform cryptographic functions such as generating, managing and storing encryption and signing keys, as well as performing sensitive cryptographic operations within the secure confines of the HSM.
As a powerful addition to your security suite, nShield HSMs help you to:
- Achieve the highest levels of data security and trust
- Meet and exceed key regulatory standards, such as eIDAS, GDPR, FIPS and Common Criteria.
- Maintain high levels of service and business agility
