The YubiHSM 2 FIPS is a game changing hardware solution for protecting Certificate Authority root keys from being copied by attackers, malware, and malicious insiders. It offers superior cost effective security and easy deployment making it accessible for every organization. It offers a higher level of security for cryptographic digital key generation, storage, and management, for organizations running Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services.

The YubiHSM 2 FIPS features are accessible by integrating with an open source and comprehensive software development toolkit (SDK) for a wide range of open source and commercial applications. The most common use case is hardware-based digital signature generation and verification. In additional emerging use cases such as securing cryptocurrency exchanges and IoT gateways are just a few examples of how the world's smallest HSM can secure modern infrastructures.

YubiHSM 2 FIPS secures cryptographic keys through their entire lifecycle from secure key generation, attestation, secure key storage, secure key distribution, secure key backup all the way to secure key destruction if needed. Screen reader support enabled.

Benefits

• Cost-effective HSM solution
• Easy deployment
• Secure key storage and operations

Use Cases | Enhance Protection for Cryptographic Keys

YubiHSM 2 FIPS offers a compelling option for secure generation, storage and management of keys. Key protection is done in the secure on-chip hardware isolated from operations on the server. Most common use cases involve protecting of the certificate authorities (CAs) private key. YubiHSM 2 FIPS capabilities include: generate, write, sign, decrypt, hash and wrapping keys.

Rapidly integrate with Hardware-based Strong Security

YubiHSM 2 FIPS can be used as a comprehensive cryptographic toolbox for low-volume operations in conjunction with a huge set of open source and commercial applications spanning many different products and services. Most common use case involve on-chip hardware based processing for signature generation and verification. The YubiHSM 2 FIPS supports the PKCS#11 industry standard.

Secure Microsoft Active Directory Certificate ServicesYubiHSM 2 FIPS can provide hardware backed keys for your Microsoft-based PKI implementation. Deploying YubiHSM 2 FIPS to your Microsoft Active Directory Certificate services not only protects the CA root keys but also protects all signing and verification services using the private key.
