The nShield Hardware Security Module (HSMi) is FIPS 140-2 Level 3-certified hardware that delivers cryptographic services for Entrust’s secure issuance software. This tamper-resistant HSMi performs vital functions for financial and identification issuance, including EMV data preparation, key generation, and data protection.
Asymmetric algorithms: RSA, Diffie-Hellman, ECMQV, DSA, El-Gamal, KCDSA, ECDSA (including NIST, Brainpool & secp256k1 curves), ECDH, Edwards (Ed25519, Ed25519ph)
Symmetric algorithms: AES, Arcfour, ARIA, Camellia, CAST, DES, MD5 HMAC, RIPEMD160 HMAC, SEED, SHA-1 HMAC, SHA-224, HMAC, SHA-256 HMAC, SHA384 HMAC, SHA-512 HMAC, Tiger HMAC, Triple DES
Hash/message digest: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2 (224, 256, 384, 512 bit), HAS-160, RIPEMD160
Our Security World architecture integrates our HSMi with issuance software, ensuring seamless failover and maximum availability.
Its support for high transaction rates makes it ideal for instant issuance and central issuance.
