About General Purpose HSMs

Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are the root of trust for secure digital communications and applications. Utimaco’s versatile GP HSM portfolio offers security for every use case, from entry-level models to high-performance variants, all certified to meet the highest security standards.

Our HSMs are FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and 4 certified, with FIPS 140-3 Levels 3 and 4 in progress. Specialized models ensure compliance with regulations such as eIDAS or classified environments (VS-NfD). Furthermore, the u.trust GP HSM Se-Series designed crypto-agile and future-proof, enabling upgrades for Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC), blockchain, or 5G-specific algorithms.

All models are available as PCIe cards or LAN appliances.
