MiniHSM, MiniHSM for nShield Edge and MiniHSM for Time Stamp Master Clock

Certificate details

Certificate ID #972
Status historical
Historical reason RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Validation dates 30.06.2008 , 28.05.2010
Standard FIPS 140-2
Security level 3
Type Hardware
Embodiment Multi-Chip Embedded
Caveat When operated in FIPS mode and initialized to Overall Level 3 per Security Policy
Description The nCipher MiniHSM is a fully featured HSM supplied in a single chip package. The MiniHSM offers all the security and key management features of other nCipher modules - but with reduced processing speed. The MiniHSM is an OEM part and will be included within other appliances or products, for example switches or routers. The MiniHSM's real time clock, also makes it suitable for use as a time-stamping engine.

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
