Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode and initialized to Overall Level 3 per Security Policy
Embodiment
Multi-chip embedded
Description
The nCipher MiniHSM is a fully featured HSM supplied in a single chip package. The MiniHSM offers all the security and key management features of other nCipher modules - but with reduced processing speed. The MiniHSM is an OEM part and will be included within other appliances or products, for example switches or routers. The MiniHSM's real time clock, also makes it suitable for use as a time-stamping engine.
