Module description

The i.MX 8X HSM extends the rich capabilities of the i.MX 8X family of products with advanced security and cryptographic capabilities. These HSM extensions implemented in the i.MX 8X integrated cryptographic module offer OEMs the capability to configure the part in the desired FIPS mode to support V2X or IoT use cases and more. The i.MX 8X cryptographic module is an integral part of the NXP i.MX 8X application processors and can be used together with other features offered by these SOCs to reduce both the OEM design bill of materials as well as time to market in security critical applications.
