Luna Hardware Security Module

Thales is the leading provider of general purpose hardware security modules (HSMs) worldwide. Our Thales Luna HSM product family represents the highest-performing, most secure, and easiest-to-integrate HSM solution available on the market today. Luna HSMs are purposefully designed to provide a balance of security, high performance, and usability that makes them an ideal choice for enterprise, financial, and government organizations. A Hardware Security Module is a specialized, highly trusted physical device which performs all major cryptographic operations, including encryption, decryption, authentication and more. HSMs are specialized security devices, with the sole objective of hiding and protecting cryptographic materials. They have a robust OS and restricted network access. HSMs are also tamper-resistant and tamper-evident devices. One of the reasons HSMs are so secure is because they have strictly controlled access, and are virtually impossible to compromise. For these reasons and more, HSMs are considered the Root of Trust in many organizations. The Root of Trust is a source in a cryptographic system that can be relied upon at all times. The strict security measures used within an HSM allow it to be the perfect Root of Trust in any organization’s security infrastructure.
