ProtectServer 3 HSM security modules are available in three modifications:
- ProtectServer 3 HSM Network Modules
- ProtectServer 3+ External HSM – external device connected via ethernet, providing reliable protection of cryptographic keys, and featuring two hot-swap power supplies for increased fault tolerance.
- ProtectServer 3 External HSM – offers the same functionality as ProtectServer 3+ HSM, but is a more budget-friendly solution due to a simplified chassis with single power supply.
- ProtectServer 3 PCIe HSM — tamper-resistant crypto adapter with PCIe x4 interface for integration into server platforms.
Key Product Features
ProtectServer 3 HSM is the successor to the popular SafeNet ProtectServer 2 module and is the optimal choice for organizations involved in banking transaction processing, acquiring and issuing operations. ProtectServer External is positioned as an HSM for banking sector and ensures compatibility with popular software solutions from leading vendors. The module is also used in solutions requiring implementation of non-standard or complex cryptographic protocols.
Performance
- Increased performance up to 3500 RSA-1024 operations and 10600 AES-GCM operations per second
- Support for blockchain algorithms
- High fault tolerance, 4×1 Gbps Ethernet ports, bonding (PSE 3+)
DevOps Friendly
- Ability to program custom commands, algorithms and protocols running in HSM secure environment using Functional Modules (FM)
- Testing and debugging of applications and FM using software emulator
- Reduced software development cycle thanks to extensive API and SDK set
High Security Level
- FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification expected soon
Ease of Use
- HSM configuration and status information on new LCD screen (PSE 3+)
- Easy migration of key material and FM from ProtectServer 2 HSM
