MiniHSM, MiniHSM for nShield Edge F2, and MiniHSM for Time Stamp Master Clock
nCipher Security Limited - FIPS 140 #2642
The MiniHSM, MiniHSM for nShield Edge F2 and MiniHSM for Time Stamp Master Clock are fully featured HSMs supplied in a single chip package. The MiniHSM Modules offer all the security and key management features of other nShield modules - but with reduced processing speed. The MiniHSM modules are OEM parts and will be included within other appliances or products, for example switches or routers. The MiniHSM modules have a real time clock which also makes them suitable for use as a time-stamping engine.
