Primus X-Series | High-Performance HSM for Encryption & Key Management

High Quality and High Performance
HSM Operations

Ensuring the security of your company's digital assets has become a paramount concern in today's technological landscape. Whether it's safeguarding classified documents, protecting financial resources, or securing personal identities, you face the constant challenge of preventing unauthorized access and manipulation. Additionally, operational security is crucial, encompassing protection against external intrusions and ensuring the continuous availability of online services. As you navigate these complexities, finding a robust solution that addresses your specific security needs becomes increasingly vital.

Solution

The Primus X-Series HSM offers top-tier security solutions tailored to your needs. It ensures swift and efficient operations up to 1000 RSA-4096 TPS (transactions per second). Its robust architecture enables storage of over 1 million keys across 120 partitions, each with a 240MB capacity.

Beyond key management, it handles authentication, encryption, and more, while allowing you to set up clusters yourself, offering geo-redundancy and load balancing. Partitioning allows support for multiple applications simultaneously, providing a scalable and personalized security solution. With the Primus X-Series HSM, you will confidently navigate IT security challenges, knowing your digital assets are safeguarded according to your needs.

X-Series HSMs offer integration via different, fully documented API’s (PKCS#11, CNG, Java, REST) and integrate effortlessly into any network environment, ensuring secure access for diverse applications in parallel.

Primus HSMs support a wide range of cryptographic algorithms, including symmetric (like AES, 3DES), asymmetric (like RSA), cryptographic hash algorithms (like SHA-2, SHA-3), and is upgradeable to post quantum computer-resistant algorithms, ensuring robust security for diverse encryption needs.

There's no limit to the number of users and clients that can securely access the Primus X-Series HSM, ensuring effortless expansion for your organization.

With up to 120+ partitions and 30GB storage space, the Primus X-Series HSM can securely store hundreds of thousands key objects, enabling efficient data management with key protection inside the HSM itself.

With a user-friendly setup wizard, Primus X-Series HSM offers quick setup, easy configuration and operation, reducing setup time and lowering operational and maintenance costs.

Ensure data integrity during transport, storage, and operation with advanced tamper protection that exceeds FIPS and Common Criteria standards. Active tamper sensors protect even when the HSM is unpowered, triggering alerts on any manipulation attempt.

Enclosed in a heavy aluminum casing and shielded cryptographic core, the Primus X-Series HSM offers robust protection against side-channel attacks and minimizes electromagnetic radiation for enhanced security.

True Random Numbers Generation (TRNG

High-entropy encryption keys are paramount to provide the highest security. The Primus X-Series HSM has multiple true random number generation (TRNG) modules. They are built up with separate hardware components and get their randomness from different physical noise mechanisms.

Crypto-Agile Architecture

Due to its dynamic architecture, the Primus HSM is quantum computer ready. Should quantum computers make any of the supported algorithms to become obsolete, then a quantum computer safe algorithm may be installed through a firmware upgrade.

API Integration and built-in security

Primus HSM provides a variety of APIs for secure integration and communication, supporting automatic failover, load balancing, and prioritization. High availability and clustering are built-in features, requiring no extra software or cost.
