SafeNet Thales Luna Network S790 32MB 10 Partition Hardware Security Module

The SafeNet Thales Luna Network Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are dedicated systems that physically and logically secure cryptographic keys and cryptographic processing. The purpose of an HSM is to protect sensitive data from being stolen by providing a highly secure operation structure. HSMs are fully contained and complete solutions for cryptographic processing, key generation and key storage. They are purpose-built appliances that automatically include the hardware and firmware (i.e., software) necessary for these functions in an integrated package. An HSM manages cryptographic keys used to lock and unlock access to digitized information over their life cycle. This includes generation, distribution, rotation, storage, termination and archival functions. An HSM also engages in cryptographic processing, which produces the dual benefits of isolation and offloading cryptographic processing from application servers.
