The professional development kit for customized HSM solutions

Utimaco’s u.trust Anchor SDK provides a professional development environment to implement firmware extensions for u.trust Anchor CSAR and SecurityServer built on u.trust Anchor platform.

Although widely used cryptographic APIs such as PKCS #11 or JCE support many cryptographic algorithms and mechanisms, their use may be limited or impossible in certain use cases. For example, chip personalization and key injection often involve multiple cryptographic operations. Starting with the generation of unique keys or derivation of such keys from a secret master key using device-specific information, which includes assembling these keys and additional information into a well-defined personalization record to finally encrypting this record under a transport key.

Implementing such a sequence of operations using industry-standard cryptographic APIs results in multiple function calls may return intermediate and sensitive results outside the HSM and, in the worst-case scenario, failure due to the required key derivation function not being supported by the standardized cryptographic API.

u.trust Anchor SDK enables the creation of customized applications, such as proprietary algorithms, key derivation functions, or complex protocols as firmware modules that run within the tamper-proof environment of u.trust Anchor platform. Standard programming languages and integration with common development environments and toolchains are supported.

u.trust Anchor SDK enables to develop the custom firmware for low-to-high performance environments as well as for as-a-service offerings. With u.trust Anchor platform, it is available for SecurityServer Se100, SecurityServer Se2k, SecurityServer Se5k, SecurityServer Se15k, SecurityServer Se40k, and u.trust Anchor CSAR (Premium, Plus, and standard).
