Management Features & Benefits

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

The simple to use Graphic User Interface (GUI) eases HSM administration and key management via intuitive navigation and user interaction. The use of Java-based GUI technology provides a consistent look and feel across all supported operating platform environments.

Command Line Interface

A command line interface for cryptographic key and certificate management allows easy script-based integration into automated systems administration facilities.

Provision for in-field secure firmware upgrade via CD or FTP

Upgrades can be cost-effectively performed at the in-field location avoiding the need and cost of returning the HSM to the service location. Additionally, internal certificate-based security mechanisms ensure that only authentic, digitally signed software from SafeNet can be installed, eliminating the possibility of non-proprietary software downgrading the security of the device.

Remote management (device & key management) on network HSMs

Convenient remote network access to the HSM reduces administrative overheads by enabling device administration and key management operations to be remotely performed on network-based HSMs.
