Thales Introduces World’s Fastest Elliptic Curve Hardware Security Modules

October 2012 by Emmanuelle Lamandé

Thales announces the introduction of nShield Connect 6000+ and nShield Solo 6000+ hardware security modules (HSMs), delivering the fastest available support for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), helping organizations embrace the latest encryption and security capabilities without compromising performance.

In addition to supporting new applications the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has recommended since 2010 that organizations transition to key lengths longer than 1024 bit for cryptography based on the RSA algorithm. While increased key lengths greatly enhance security, they also require more computational capacity and that can slow down operational performance.

Elliptic curve cryptography is a proven alternative to traditional algorithms associated with PKI and the applications that employ public key operations and provides processing efficiencies that are well suited to emerging markets and security requirements.

nShield Connect 6000+ and nShield Solo 6000+ models are currently undergoing FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation (the globally recognized security standard for cryptographic systems) and will be available in early November 2012.
