Module Name
nCipher 800 PCI[1], nCipher 1600 PCI[2], nCipher 1600 PCI for NetHSM[3], nForce 800 PCI[4] and nForce 1600 PCI[5]
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode
Security Level Exceptions
Embodiment
Multi-chip embedded
Description
The nCipher modules: nCipher 800 PCI, nCipher 1600 PCI, nCipher 1600 PCI for NetHSM, nForce 800 PCI and nForce 1600 PCI family of secure ecommerce HSM's are multi-tasking hardware modules that is optimized for performing modular arithmetic on very large integers. The nCipher modules are FIPS 140-2 level 3 embedded devices. The units are identical in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
