The Nirph Biometric Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a tamper-resistant hardware device that Nirph provides to CIS users. The Bio-HSM enables a user to store its PKI private keys and fingerprint algorithms to protect the generation of digital signatures and identity verifications.

Features and Benefits

• Tamper-Proof Security
  The NIRPH BIO-HSM features either an ultrasonically welded or an over molded case for tamper evidence.
• Future-Proof Design
  The NIRPH BIO-HSM is designed to be extensible and future-proof. High-speed FPGAs maximize performance, and custom algorithms and/or features, potentially including classified algorithms, can be added through a trusted firmware update process.

Applications

• Biometric encryption and verification
  The NIRPH BIO-HSM supports High-strength encrypted fingerprint verification for technical nonrepudiation.
• Electronic Notary
  Digitally sign legal documents, including forensic evidence.
