Home / solutions / applications

applications

The most secure way to enable applications based on cryptographic keys is through the use of Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). They generate, store, manage and securely decommission cryptographic keys. HSMs are considered the first choice for providing a Root of Trust and securing the privacy, authenticity and integrity of data and people, e.g. in the Internet of Things.

HSM applications

The wide range of use cases for Hardware Security Modules

The main mechanisms for securing data, documents, identities or code while in transit and at rest are enabled by cryptographic keys or functions. Via applications such as:

  • key injection, which is the injection of a cryptographic key into a chip to provide it with a unique identity (e.g. for anti-piracy or supply chain transparency reasons)
  • timestamping code or documents, and the cryptographic signing of a document to prevent unauthorized modifications
  • the definition and initialization of ecosystems like public key infrastructures (PKIs) to which access will only be granted through authentication
  • conditional access
  • commonly used database encryption to secure data at rest
  • random number generation which ensures a high quality of the utilized keys and uniqueness of transactions

You may use Utimaco HSMs in the following applications or use cases here below, amongst others.
