memModuleDescription The nCipher modules: nShield 500 & nShield Lite family of secure ecommerce
HSM's are multi-tasking hardware modules that is optimized for performing modular arithmetic on very large integers. The nCipher modules are FIPS 140-2 level 2 embedded devices. The units are identical
in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
