Technology Integrations

An HSM’s purpose is to serve applications with secure cryptographic processing and key management. Therefore, integration with third party applications is crucial for the ecosystem.

Thanks to Utimaco’s simulators, these integrations are much easier and quicker compared to use of real hardware.


Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access the CC eIDAS simulator?

To access the Utimaco CC eIDAS simulator, you have to create an account on the Utimaco portal. After registration, we will have to verify your provided information for export compliance reasons – this verification process can take up to 48 hours. Then you will be granted access to the Utimaco download portal. Got to the section simulators and choose the CC eIDAS Simulator for download. (Might be still available under the old name: CryptoServer CP5)

Can I transfer the setup from the simulator to a real Utimaco Hardware Security Module?

Yes! With the CC eIDAS simulator, you can configure and test your integrations or applications, then seamlessly transfer the setup to your Utimaco CryptoServer General Purpose HSM. This accelerates project evaluation by allowing you to start work even before the actual HSM is installed. However, for security reasons, please make sure not to use any test key materials with the actual HSM.

Can the CC eIDAS simulator replace a real Hardware Security Module?

No. While the simulator is a valuable tool to test functionalities, integration capabilities, and custom developments, it does not provide the security level of a real Hardware Security Module.

Where can I find help with using the simulator?

The download package includes product documentation, and a quick start guide to assist you. For additional support, feel free to contact us at: support@utimaco.com.
