Introduction

The YubiHSM 2 is a USB-based, multi-purpose cryptographic device for servers. Its diminutive physical size is ideal for installation directly into internal or external server ports. It is a Hardware Security Module (HSM) that is cost-effective for all organizations. It provides advanced cryptography including hashing, asymmetric, and symmetric key cryptography to protect the cryptographic keys that secure critical applications, identities, and sensitive data in an enterprise for certificate authorities, databases, code signing and more.

YubiHSM 2 FIPS is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified device. Certification by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can be found at: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/certificate/3916

YubiHSM 2 FIPS devices include the text “FIPS” laser-etched onto the surface of the device and allow YubiHSM 2 FIPS to run in FIPS Approved mode.
