Module description
The ASI-HSM AHX5 kNET Cryptographic Module is a Hardware Security Module that provides cryptographic services with native implementation of the Key Management Interoperability Protocol to applications. The hardware is optimized for cryptographic operations along with proprietary firmware and software developed exclusively for the module. Its operators communicate with it via a standard Ethernet interface using IP protocols. The module is usually sold embedded within a stand-alone network appliance, which is typically used in large-scale cloud infrastructures, where ease of remote configuration and operation is required.
