Hardware Security Module for data encryption
A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a physical device that guarantees the highest level of protection for sensitive data within a secured, isolated environment. Its reliability is confirmed by industry-leading certifications, including FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and eIDAS Common Criteria EAL4+.
Due to its specialized architecture and dedicated features, the device allows for the secure generation, storage, and management of cryptographic keys, which serve as the foundation for data protection in business processes and online transactions.
How does an HSM work?
Perceptus provides HSM modules in both network-attached and PCIe card versions. Cryptographic processors ensure high performance, service continuity, and data protection at both the physical and software levels.
HSM – Hardware Security Module:
- operates seamlessly with any Certificate Authority (CA),
- features two-factor authentication (2FA) via smart card and PIN for administrators, further enhancing data security
- generates digital encryption keys,
- authenticates them,
- manages cryptographic keys,
Functions of HSM devices
A Hardware Security Module is used to store cryptographic material (keys) used to encrypt digital data in business transactions and processes. Encryption keys are utilized for, among others:
digitally securing electronic documents in government offices and institutions,
managing access keys and security within data exchange frameworks,
securely generating keys for encrypting online transactions,
storing keys in a manner that prevents them from being copied or moved,
maintaining full control over confidential cryptographic data.
The technology we offer features full scalability and device clustering capabilities. Key functionalities include extensive remote configuration, server-independent operation, reduced server resource consumption, and comprehensive data protection.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about HSM
What is an HSM?
An HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a cryptographic device used to generate, store, and manage encryption keys in a secure environment. It provides data protection at both the physical and logical levels
What is an HSM used for?
The module is used for, among other things, signing electronic documents, protecting online transactions, secure data exchange, and certificate management.
How does an HSM protect data against theft or unauthorized access?
The devices are tamper-resistant, feature two-factor authentication mechanisms, and ensure that cryptographic keys never leave the secure module in plaintext.
What is the difference between a Network HSM and a Card HSM?
A Network HSM operates as a dedicated cryptographic server connected to the IT infrastructure, whereas a Card HSM is a module in a PCIe or USB form factor, installed directly into a server.
