Description
SafeNet PCIe Hardware Security Module and SafeNet PCIe Hardware Security Module for SafeNet Network HSM is a multi-chip embedded hardware cryptographic module in the form of a PCI-Express card that typically resides within a custom computing or secure communications appliance. The cryptographic module is contained in its own secure enclosure that provides physical resistance to tampering. The cryptographic boundary of the module is defined to encompass all components inside the secure enclosure on the PCI-E card.
