Securosys Primus X Cyber Vault | The Ultimate Security Standard for HSM

As quantum computing progresses, it poses challenges for traditional public key cryptographic algorithms, potentially jeopardizing the security of sensitive data. Quantum computers outperform conventional computers in reconstructing the cryptographic key pairs that protect your data. Therefore, organizations might start thinking about developing migration strategies toward upgrading authentication and encryption technologies to make the algorithms and protocols quantum-proof algorithms and ensure the security of their operations.

Solution

Being prepared for the future is one thing, implementing quantum-readiness another. Transitioning to these new algorithms requires careful preparation and early execution to allow ample time for testing and minimizing disruptions. Yet, the migration and setup of a new device needs to be straightforward. This is where the HSM Primus X Cyber Vault steps in as a crucial solution.

By facilitating hybrid signatures that seamlessly integrate both classical and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, Cyber Vault ensures a smooth transition process. It offers a comprehensive approach by supporting the integration of RSA or ECC/ED with PQC signatures, AES encryption/decryption, and key exchange protocols. The focus on balanced performance ensures that efficiency is maintained throughout the transition period, safeguarding the integrity of sensitive data in the face of evolving cyber threats.

With over 50,000 concurrent transactions per second (TPS), the Primus X Cyber Vault stands as the fastest HSM in the market. It is scalable to over 1,000,000 concurrent transactions per second in clustered environments.

Ensure the integrity of your data during transport, storage, and operation, providing a secure foundation for critical infrastructure.

Effortlessly integrate into existing systems with easy commissioning, configuration, attestation and maintenance procedures.

Customize the Primus X Cyber Vault to meet your specific needs, ensuring adaptability as your requirements evolve.

Decanus (link to the page) enables seamless, highly secure, and efficient remote management of your HSM and user partition.

Group multiple Primus HSMs together to support redundancy and load balancing, ensuring continuous operation in mission-critical environments.

Hybrid Operations

Our approach to a save transition to PQC stands out by incorporating hybrid signatures that utilize both classical and PQC algorithms while maintaining consistent throughput. This comprehensive approach supports the integration of RSA or ECC/ED with PQC signatures like Kyber, Dilithium, or SPHINCS+, AES encryption/decryption, and key exchange protocols.

Optical Interface for Seamless Integration

Easily integrate into any network environment with support for copper and optical interfaces up to 10 Gbps.
