Yubico YubiHSM 2.2 FIPS Hardware Security Module USB-A

Yubico YubiHSM 2.2 FIPS Hardware Security Module, FIPS USB-A Version

The YubiHSM 2 FIPS is a game changing hardware solution for protecting Certificate Authority root keys from being copied by attackers, malware, and malicious insiders. It offers superior cost effective security and easy deployment making it accessible for every organization. It offers a higher level of security for cryptographic digital key generation, storage, and management, for organizations running Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services.

The YubiHSM 2 features are accessible by integrating with an open source and comprehensive software development toolkit (SDK) for a wide range of open source and commercial applications. The most common use case is hardware-based digital signature generation and verification. In additional emerging use cases such as securing cryptocurrency exchanges and IoT gateways are just a few examples of how the world’s smallest HSM can secure modern infrastructures.

YubiHSM 2 secures cryptographic keys through their entire lifecycle from secure key generation, attestation, secure key storage, secure key distribution, secure key backup all the way to secure key destruction if needed. Screen reader support enabled.

Benefits

• Cost-effective HSM solution
• Easy deployment
• Secure key storage and operations

Enhance Protection for Cryptographic Keys

YubiHSM 2 offers a compelling option for secure generation, storage and management of keys. Key protection is done in the secure on-chip hardware isolated from operations on the server. Most common use cases involve protecting of the certificate authorities (CAs) private key. YubiHSM 2 capabilities include: generate, write, sign, decrypt, hash and wrapping keys.

Rapidly integrate with Hardware-based Strong Security

YubiHSM 2 can be used as a comprehensive cryptographic toolbox for low-volume operations in conjunction with a huge set of open source and commercial applications spanning many different products and services. Most common use case involve on-chip hardware based processing for signature generation and verification. The YubiHSM 2 supports the PKCS#11 industry standard.

Secure Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services

YubiHSM 2 can provide hardware backed keys for your Microsoft-based PKI implementation. Deploying YubiHSM 2 to your Microsoft Active Directory Certificate services not only protects the CA root keys but also protects all signing and verification services using the private key.

Secure Cryptocurrency Exchanges

With the explosive growth of the cryptocurrency market also comes a high volume of assets that need protection to mitigate against emerging security risks. The YubiHSM 2 allows organizations to strongly secure cryptographic keys and keep sensitive financial information safe.

Protect Internet of Things (IoT) Environments

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a rapidly emerging area where systems often operate in hostile environments. That makes securing cryptographics keys even more important as organizations need to protect sensitive information. Cryptographic keys are used in numerous IoT applications, with insufficient security in place. Developers building IoT applications can rapidly enable support for the YubiHSM 2 to protect cryptographic keys and keep critical IoT environments from falling victim to hostile takeovers.
