HSMs (Hardware Security Modules)
Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are specialized cryptographic processors designed for the secure management, storage, and protection of cryptographic keys. They provide a highly secure environment for encryption, decryption, authentication, and digital signatures. HSMs serve as a trust anchor for organizations that need to protect sensitive data and transactions, such as in banking, e-commerce, or digital identity management.
Thales HSMs provide the highest level of security, as keys are always stored in hardware. This ensures resistance to attacks and unauthorized access. They comply with strict security standards such as FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria, and eIDAS.
