Hardware Security Module (HSM)

The HSM IP module is a Hardware Security Module for a wide range of applications. It is developed, validated and licensed by Secure-IC (partner of Xilinx) as an FPGA-based IP solution dedicated to the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platform.

As the connectivity of industrial systems is growing, so is the need for data integrity and system authentication. A very important aspect of this embedded security is a hardware security module (HSM), a security enclave that provides secure key management and cryptographic processing.

This HSM IP module removes the need for a dedicated HSM device and it incorporates 2 solutions:

- The HSM hardware IP, to be implemented in programmable logic and ready to interface with with the Zynq UltraScale+ processing system.
- A software stack containing the HSM firmware, HSM driver code and an interface layer allowing integration.
