2.1. Prerequisites and product information

This guide covers the following HSMs:

• nShield 5c
These Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) provide secure cryptographic processing within
a tamper-resistant casing. Each nShield HSM is configured to communicate with one or
more client computers over an Ethernet network. A client is a computer using the nShield
HSM for cryptography. You can also configure clients to use other nShield HSMs on the
network, as well as locally installed HSMs.
