Swissbit iShield HSM Series
A retrofittable plug & play hardware security module (HSM) for IoT devices
Although software-based storage of cryptographic keys to secure IoT devices is common practice, this method is vulnerable to accidental disclosure or intentional theft of private keys by savvy attackers.With the PU-50n iShield HSM Series Swissbit offers reliable storage of security keys for device identification, authentication and registration. It is based on an industrial-grade USB memory stick with a compact and robust metal housing.
The iShield HSM is a plug-and-play USB security anchor that allows system integrators to upgrade existing AWS IoT Greengrass devices with a hardware security module, making it the perfect retrofit solution for finished hardware designs & in-field devices. iShield HSM securely stores the device’s private key and certificate so that they aren’t exposed or duplicated in software. The product is available as a high-quality, robust & compact USB memory stick, which supports PKCS#11 and PKCS#15 and is compatible with an open source software stack (e.g. OpenSC). A Secure Element (CC EAL6+) is embedded into iShield HSM’s hardware via chip-on-board technology, making it tamper-proof and suited for harsh operating environments. Swissbit iShield is the product family brand for plug-and-play security products.
The iShield HSM is designed and qualified for AWS IoT Greengrass Hardware Security Integration (HSI), providing a secure storage for cryptographic keys and credentials used for device identification, authentication and registration.
