Description The nCipher modules: nCipher 4000 PCI, nShield 800 PCI, and nShield Plus PCI family of secure e-commerce HSM's are multi-tasking hardware modules that is optimized for performing modular arithmetic on very large integers. The nCipher modules are FIPS 140-2 level 3 embedded devices. The units are identical in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
