Description
The nCipher nShield range of tamper resistant Hardware Security Modules improves the security of cryptographic keys and increases server throughput for digital signature and encryption applications. Supporting many commercial public key infrastructure (PKI) products such as certificate authorities and on-line validation servers, the nShield family of HSMs is also used for building custom security applications requiring secure and flexible key management.
