Thales Luna PCIe HSM – Cryptographic Acceleration from an Embedded HSM
Thales Luna PCIe Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) can be embedded directly in an appliance or application server for an easy-to-integrate and cost-efficient solution for cryptographic acceleration and security. The high-security hardware design of Thales Luna PCIe HSM ensures the integrity and protection of encryption keys throughout their life cycle.
All digital signing and verification operations are performed within the HSM to increase performance and maintain security.

Thales Luna PCIe HSM at a Glance:
Meet Your Compliance Needs
Meet your compliance needs by leveraging our certified Thales Luna PCIe HSMs. As Thales's sole focus is security, we make third-party certifications a priority.
Overcome Resource Constraints
As the need to provide security for resource constrained devices (smart phones, tablets, smart meters) grows, vendors must be able to provide solutions that leverage ECC algorithms. ECC algorithms offer high key strength, at a greatly reduced key length when compared to RSA keys.
Thales Luna PCIe HSM includes a wide range of hardware accelerated ECC algorithms, including custom curves, that can be used in the development of solutions.
Operational Cost Savings
Thales Luna PCIe HSM benefits from a robust and forward thinking feature set. These features – including remote management, secure transport and remote backup – will greatly reduce the management and operational costs of a deployment that utilises this HSM.
Partner spotlight:
Microsoft Forefront TMG
Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG), the company's secure web gateway, integrates with SafeNet Luna PCIe HSMs to secure SSL transactions by storing master SSL private keys in Thales's FIPS 140 validated tamper-proof hardware appliance.
The Thales Luna PCIe HSM integration also significantly improves server performance by offloading resource-intensive cryptographic operations to the purpose-built encryption appliance.
