Description The nShield modules: nShield F2 4000, nShield F2 2000, and nShield F2 500 family of secure e-commerce HSM's are multi-tasking hardware modules that is optimized for performing modular arithmetic on very large integers. The nShield modules are FIPS 140-2 level 2 embedded devices. The units are identical in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
Version (Hardware) nC3023P-4K0, nC3023P-2K0, and nC3123P-500, Build Standard N
Version (Firmware) 2.38.4-2 and 2.38.7-2
Vendor Thales - nCipher
