2 Module Overview
Atos Worldline's Adyton is an innovative high-performance Hardware Security Module (HSM)
platform. The design of the Adyton HSM is based on high security, reliability and robustness,
user friendliness, and conformance to international security standards. The Adyton HSM has an
integrated color display, full HEX capacitive keyboard, chip card reader, fingerprint reader, and a
USB Host connection.
With its user-centered design, operators are continuously guided through their operations using
on-screen wizards. Dual-factor authentication allows for identity-based authentication of
operators without keyboard input. The Adyton HSM can be connected to host systems using its
gigabit Ethernet.
The Adyton HSM can be integrated into an Adyton HSM rack for installation in standard IT
cabinets. Adyton HSM racks extend the Adyton HSM with a second gigabit Ethernet interface for
network redundancy or separation, and hot swappable dual power supplies for power
redundancy.
The Adyton Cryptographic Module within the Adyton HSM is a certified FIPS 140-2 module with
an overall security level 3. The Adyton Cryptographic Module detects intrusions, temperature and
voltage manipulations, and responds to such attacks by zeroizing its memory where sensitive
information is stored by overwriting it.
In addition to its ease of use and high reliability, the Adyton Cryptographic Module is also
designed for performance and achieves thousands of digital signatures per second
(benchmarking on 1024 bit). Symmetric key operations can be performed even faster.
With its high security and high reliability, the Adyton HSM is the ideal product for integration into
the complete electronic payment chain (from card personalization, to issuing, to acquiring). But
the Adyton HSM is more than an HSM for financial transactions -- it can easily be integrated in
other domains where security is becoming more and more demanding such as Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI), document signing, E-Health, Smart Metering, chip personalization (e.g.
trusted Platform Modules), key generation facilities, and government and military programs.
