Pitney Bowes X4 Hardware Security Module (HSM)
Pitney Bowes, Inc. - FIPS 140 #3321
The X4 HSM is a single chip cryptographic module using the Maxim MAX32590 hardware. The central purpose of the module is as a physical computing device that safeguards and manages cryptographic keys and provides cryptographic services to connected host devices. The module uses a number of strong identity based authentication mechanisms to provide authentication, integrity, and when necessary non-repudiation.
