โ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
โ What is an HSM and what is the Bull Trustway Proteccio PCA4H used for?
An HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a cryptographic device dedicated to the generation, secure storage, and management of cryptographic keys. The Bull Trustway Proteccio PCA4H is used to secure PKIs (public key infrastructures), banking transactions, qualified electronic signatures, high-security VPN access, and any application requiring the highest level of trust for protecting sensitive data.
โ What is the difference between the EL, HR, and XR models of the Trustway Proteccio?
The three ranges differ in cryptographic performance: the EL (Entry Level) model offers up to 100 Mbit/s in AES-256 and 40 RSA 2048-bit signatures per second; the HR (High Range) reaches 200 Mbit/s and 1000 sig/s; the XR (eXtended Range) achieves 300 Mbit/s and 4000 sig/s. All share the same EAL4+ certified architecture and ANSSI Enhanced Qualification.
โ Is the device compatible with PKCS#11 standards and common applications?
Yes, the Trustway Proteccio PCA4H exposes a standard PKCS#11 API, compatible with the vast majority of PKI, electronic signature, and strong authentication applications on the market. It integrates into Linux and Windows ecosystems via libraries provided by Bull/Eviden. Note that software licenses and application configuration remain the buyerโs responsibility.
โ How does the physical anti-intrusion protection of the case work?
The internal cryptographic module is protected by an opaque potting resin, in accordance with the FIPS 140-3 standard. Any attempt to open the case triggers an internal security alarm that automatically erases the stored cryptographic keys. This secret self-destruction mechanism ensures the deviceโs inviolability even in the event of a direct physical attack on the HSM appliance.
โ Can I use this equipment in a government or defense environment?
Absolutely. The Bull Trustway Proteccio is the only HSM on the market with the ANSSI Enhanced Qualification, making it the reference choice for French public administrations, operators of vital importance (OIV), classified information systems, and deployments requiring compliance with NIS2 directives, GDPR, and European cybersecurity regulations.
