Hardware & Key SecurityHardware Security Module (HSM)
FIPS 140-3 Level 3, PQC-ready hardware root of trust for your keys.
CryptoBind HSM is a high-performance, tamper-resistant network Hardware Security Module built on a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified cryptographic boundary — generating, storing, and using cryptographic keys securely, with up to 1000 partitions, up to 35,000 RSA TPS, and post-quantum cryptography support. Faltrox deploys, integrates, and operates it as your cryptographic root of trust.
Overview
What Hardware Security Module (HSM) is
Cryptographic keys are the ultimate secret — whoever holds them can decrypt data, forge signatures, and impersonate systems. Storing them in software is a fundamental weakness. CryptoBind HSM (by JISA Softech) provides the hardware root of trust: a tamper-resistant appliance where keys are generated, stored, and used inside a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified boundary, never exposed in the clear.
It delivers elastic, centralized key management and high-speed crypto offload — up to 1000 partitions for secure multi-tenancy, up to 100,000 keys inside the certified boundary, 500 to 35,000 RSA-2048 TPS, and up to 10G/sec bulk crypto — with PKCS#11, JCE, OpenSSL, and REST API integration, M-of-N and two-factor authentication, and post-quantum algorithm support (Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+). Faltrox deploys, integrates, and operates it as the cryptographic root of trust underpinning your data protection, PKI, and signing.

How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Generate in Hardware
Keys are generated by the HSM’s hardware RNG inside the FIPS boundary, never in software.
- 02
Store Securely
Keys are stored inside the certified tamper-resistant boundary, protected from insider and malware access.
- 03
Offload Crypto
Applications offload signing, encryption, and key operations to the HSM at high speed via PKCS#11, JCE, OpenSSL, or REST.
- 04
Partition & Isolate
Up to 1000 partitions isolate tenants and applications, each with its own users and policies.
- 05
Operate
Faltrox deploys, integrates, HA-clusters, and operates the HSM as your cryptographic root of trust.

Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes CryptoBind Hardware Security Module (HSM) for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01What is a Hardware Security Module?
An HSM is a tamper-resistant hardware appliance that generates, stores, and uses cryptographic keys inside a certified secure boundary — so keys are never exposed in software where malware or insiders could steal them. It’s the hardware root of trust for encryption, signing, and PKI.
02What does FIPS 140-3 Level 3 mean?
FIPS 140-3 is the US standard for cryptographic modules; Level 3 adds physical tamper-resistance and identity-based authentication, so an attempt to physically breach the module destroys the keys. CryptoBind HSM’s cryptographic boundary is certified to that level.
03Is it quantum-safe?
CryptoBind HSM is post-quantum ready — it supports the NIST PQC algorithms ML-KEM (Kyber), ML-DSA (Dilithium), and SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+), so you can begin migrating to quantum-resistant cryptography. Faltrox advises on your PQC migration path.
04How does it support multi-tenancy?
Up to 1000 partitions let a single appliance securely serve multiple customers or applications, each cryptographically isolated with its own users and policies — ideal for service providers and consolidated enterprise crypto. Faltrox designs the partition and role model.
05How does Faltrox deliver it?
We deploy the HSM, design the partition, key, and role architecture, integrate it with your applications, PKI, and databases via PKCS#11/JCE/REST, set up HA clustering and DC-DR key sync, and operate it as your cryptographic root of trust.
