The nShield Edge hardware security module (HSM) is a full-featured, portable USB HSM designed for low-volume transaction environments. It’s capable of encryption and key protection and is ideally suited for off-line key generation for certificate authorities (CAs) as well as development and Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) environments.
Powerful for a purpose - offline key generation and development / Bring Your Own Key environments, with complete algorithm and API support.
Highly portable - small, lightweight design and convenient USB interface supports a variety of host platforms, including portable devices.
Cost effective - Your entry-point into HSMs, this economical device lets you scale your environment with other nShield models.
Certifications
nShield Edge USB HSMs are certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 2 and Level 3.
Safety and Environmental Standards Compliance
Supported APIs
Supported Cryptographic Algorithms
nShield HSMs offers the majority of these cryptographic algorithms as part of the standard feature set. For organizations wishing to use ECC or South Korean algorithms, optional activation licenses are needed.
Operating Systems
Windows and Linux operating systems including distributions from RedHat and SUSE.
CipherTools Developer Toolkit
The CipherTools Developer Toolkit is a set of tutorials, reference documentation, sample programs and additional libraries. With this toolkit which is included with our standard nShield Security World Software, developers can take full advantage of the advanced integration capabilities of nShield HSMs. In addition to offering support for standard APIs, the toolkit enables you to run custom applications with nShield HSMs.
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Activation
The ECC activation license enables EC-DH, EC-DSA and EC-MQV to be used on an nShield HSMs.
KCDSA Activation
With the KCDSA activation license, you can use the Korean Certificate-based Digital Signature Algorithm (KCSDA) as well as HAS-160, SEED and ARIA algorithms on an nShield HSMs.
FIPS Certification Options
The nShield Edge is available in FIPS 140-2 Level 2 and Level 3 variants. A non-FIPS developer edition is also offered.
Networked appliances that deliver cryptographic key services to applications distributed across servers and virtual machines.
PCI-Express card-based HSMs that deliver cryptographic key services to applications hosted on individual servers and appliances.
USB-connected desktop HSMs that provide convenience and economy for environments requiring low-volume cryptographic key services.
