General Purpose HSM Security Server
The Utimaco SecurityServer is a general purpose HSM that ensures the security of cryptographic key material for servers and applications. It includes integration software that supports the industry standard PKCS#11, Microsoft CSP/CNG/SQLEKM and JCE interfaces. It can therefore be used for the most common business applications, such as public key infrastructures (PKIs) or database encryption. The SecurityServer comes as a bundle with your choice of Utimaco CryptoServer Se-Series Gen2 or CSe-Series hardware. The Se-Series HSMs have been designed to meet standard physical security and anti-tampering technology industry requirements. The CSe-Series integrates even stronger tamper-detection and tamper-response technology. It is therefore the best choice for use in hostile and uncontrolled environments and in market segments with the highest security requirements, such as banking and government. A software HSM simulator is available for easy evaluation and integration testing.
