Testing and development

Perform testing, development, and rapid prototyping in a secure code environment (SCE).

HSM virtualization

Use cryptographic resources more efficiently by segmenting functionality using HSM virtualization and application partitioning.

Robust support

Leverage all major encryption algorithms, standard client libraries, and interfaces (AES, RSA, ECC, PKCS #11, Java, and so on).

Custom scripting

Load, test, and execute custom applications and code within the boundary of the HSM’s Secure Code Environment (SCE).

Why choose the Vectera Plus?

The Vectera Plus combines general-purpose and financial transaction processing. The benefits include reduced up-front capital expenditure, lower overhead costs for maintenance, simplified training, and reduced effort to integrate with 3rd party applications.

Financial and General-Purpose Encryption

Deploy enterprise-class security with powerful, extensible HSM solutions for general-purpose and financial industries.

Secure Code Environment

Application developers can run applications within a secure, isolated FIPS 140-2 Level 3-compliant secure code environment (SCE).

HSM Virtualization

You can divide the cryptographic functions of the Excrypt Plus into different logical partitions, which allows it to function as several completely independent HSMs.

Application partitioning

Multiple applications can simultaneously connect and use Excrypt resources securely through key storage table segmentation.

Microsoft AD CS

Securely support Microsoft AD CS in creation and management of client Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates by centralizing private key storage in the Vectera Plus hardware security module. For more information on Futurex’s AD CS integration methods, visit our Microsoft AD CS Technology Solutions page, or download our informational brochure.

Oracle Key Vault

Establish a Root-of-Trust (ROT) for Oracle databases in the Vectera Plus HSM and provide critical protection to the wallet password. The Vectera Plus provides high-assurance security for the Transparent Data Encryption process and prevents attempts to recover keys from the Oracle Key Vault server in unauthorized environments without disrupting existing features like High Availability, backup, or restore.

Microsoft SQL Server

Take advantage of the vast set of features and administrative functionality the Vectera Plus HSM provides by using it to offload Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) keys for Microsoft SQL Server. Effectively manage the full key lifecycle, securely generate and issue database encryption keys, and configure specific key management functions like key rotation and aging. Read more about data encryption with SQL Server & HSMs.

VMware vSphere

Securely encrypt virtual machines and associated files by configuring the VMware ESXi hypervisor to store and manage Key Encryption Keys in the Vectera Plus HSM, ensuring enhanced security for data-at-rest and meeting industry compliance requirements.

Java KeyTool

Seamlessly secure keys in the Vectera Plus HSM with Java KeyTool for use in a wide range of general-purpose applications.

Venafi Trust Protection Platform (TPP)

For effective key & certificate lifecycle management, integrate the Vectera Plus HSM with Venafi’s Trust Protection Platform. Visit the Venafi.com Marketplace to download the integration guide and get started.

R3 – Corda Enterprise

Further secure transaction environments by instructing Corda Enterprise nodes to store their Legal Identity Keys in the Vectera Plus HSM. Learn more about configuring your Corda environment with Futurex.

Check Point Security Gateway

Integrate the Vectera Plus HSM into a Check Point Security environment to add an extra layer of security to the network. Configure the Check Point Security Gateway to effectively store cryptographic key pairs and distribute Certificate Authority (CA) certificates.
