Module description
Thales' TSPP is the multi-chip embedded cryptographic module in its payShield 9000 family of hardware security modules used in the Banking and Finance sector for securing card-based payment transactions. The product family is also used to provide dedicated functionality for key management and message security using algorithms such as Triple-DES, RSA, SHA, HMAC, and AES. TSPP contains a secure bootstrap that authenticates application loading using DSA 2048, so that only application software written by and "signed" by Thales can be loaded and run on TSPP-based products.
