Primus X-series

Primus X-Series Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are available in different performance classes (X200/X400/X700/X1000). In its most powerful implementation, the Primus X1000 HSM is capable to perform 1200 RSA-4096 operations (or about 4000 RSA-2048) per second. The Primus X-Series HSM can be managed with our remote access device Decanus.

Primus x-Serie

Overview

Key Management and Encryption

The Primus X-Series HSM performs a wide range of operations. It generates encryption keys, stores these keys, and manages the distribution of these keys. Besides key management, it also performs authentication and encryption tasks. Multiple Primus HSMs can be grouped together in a self-synchronizing cluster to support geo-redundancy and load balancing. Each Primus can also be partitioned for multiple applications. Primus supports symmetric (AES, 3DES), asymmetric (RSA, ECC, Diffie-Hellman), and cryptographic hash algorithms (SHA-2, SHA-3).

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.

Ultra-Secure Vault

Primus also contains an ultra secure vault implemented inside a dedicated security chip. This Common Criteria (CC EAL 5+) certified device offers offline storage for PKI root keys and other critical keys.


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/software upgrade.

Business Advantage

Primus X-Series HSMs are secure and tamper-proof network security appliances. They are ideally suited to fulfill the highest requirements in high availability systems. Multiple HSMs can be grouped together as clusters across different datacenters, countries, or even continents to provide load balancing and fail-over. In addition, each unit is equipped with two redundant hot pluggable power supplies (AC or DC).

Unlimited Users
There is no limit on the number of users and clients that can access the Primus X-Series HSM. Applications can connect either through Java (JCE/JCA), Windows (CNG, PKCS#11), or Linux (PKCS#11, openSSL) providers to the Primus X-Series.
Over 1 Million Keys
The Primus X-Series hardware security module can be configured with up to 120 partitions, each providing up to 240MB protected storage space. It can securely hold over one million keys or objects.
Prevent Tampering
Special care has been taken in the Primus X-Series HSM to detect and prevent tampering that go beyond FIPS and Common Criteria certification requirements. Multiple tamper sensors ensure proper operation and handling of the Primus X-Series HSM. If triggered, they will erase all key material.
Store Keys
The Primus X-Series HSM store cryptographic keys and provision encryption, decryption, authentication and digital signing services. They are essential to manage and provide protection for transactions, identities and applications.
Protect Sensitive Data
Protect your sensitive data and transactions with industry-leading security in the highest performance HSM. Integrate the Primus X-Series Hardware encryption devices directly into environments for on-site data security.
Transport Protection
The tamper sensors are also in operation when the HSM is unpowered. So, even when the HSM is in transit or held instorage, the HSM is protecting itself against any attempt to manipulate it and will notify its owner when powered up again.
Fully Shielded
To protect against side-channel attacks the Primus X-Series HSM is enclosed in a heavy aluminum casing. Moreover the critical cryptographic core is additionally shielded inside the box. This results in essentially no electro-magnetic (EM) radiation.
