Details
The easy-to-use management solution for Atalla HSMs
Secure Configuration Assistant is a management tool for Atalla HSMs that can be applied to a variety of use cases
It enables local and remote command configuration, parameter definition, cryptoprogram calculation and cryptographic key injection into Atalla HSMs in a trusted manner.
The easy-to-use and intuitive GUI with natural event and decision flow improves the user experience and productivity with an aim to reduce errors.
Secure Configuration Assistant can be used to manage the Atalla HSM, remotely or locally. It uses PCI PTS KLD certified Utimaco C3 along with Atalla Smartcards for authentication and management.
Utimaco C3 is a secure and tamper-reactive cryptographic device (SCD) that is used to enter key components and smart card PINs.
All key components and smart card PINs are entered directly into the Utimaco C3 and communicated securely to the smart card, isolating all security- related data items from the SCA or any other components in between.
Utimaco C3 comes with a built-in smart card reader, keypad and LCD display that conforms to PCI and other financial standards.
SmartCard Authentication through Atalla SCA smart cards can be aligned with the individual security policy of the organization. By personalizing the smart cards to individual cardholders, such as security administrators, IT managers, or executives and defining the minimum number of cardholders required to approve each type of security action, this enables organizations to set up individual access models.
Atalla SCA Backup Operator Smart Cards are used for replicating and restoring Atalla HSM configurations on new or restored HSMs.
Supports Various Keys
- AES 128 and 246-bit keys along with legacy single-length DES
- 2-key and 3-key triple DES
- Public key cryptography Atalla Key Block key management
- Legacy variant key management
Secure Multi-factor Authentication
- Enforces quorum based multi-factor authentication using smartcards
Smart Cards
- Atalla Backup Operator Smart Cards provide “L of M” quorum control for quick replication of configurations on both local and remote Atalla HSMs
- An organization can define its own security policy by setting the minimum number of cardholders to approve each type of security action
