Module Name
Pitney Bowes X4 Hardware Security Module (HSM)
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS Mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Description
The X4 HSM is a single chip cryptographic module using the Maxim MAX32590 hardware. The central purpose of the module is as a physical computing device that safeguards and manages cryptographic keys and provides cryptographic services to connected host devices. The module uses a number of strong identity based authentication mechanisms to provide authentication, integrity, and when necessary non-repudiation.
