Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Ideem ZSM Cryptographic Module randomly splits keys across servers so that they are never in any single place to be stolen. The advanced protocols used in Ideem ZSM ensure that even if servers are breached and completely controlled by an attacker, the secrets and credentials cannot be stolen. The result is that digital assets remain safe, even if all else fails and attackers get inside the network. Ideem ZSM is able to protect all types of standard cryptographic keys for all purposes, including encryption/decryption, digital signing, and authentication. Ideem’s technology for securing keys using two-party computation (TPC) is fully transparent to the calling application.
