AEP Keyper

AEP Keyper

AEP Keyper - the only FIPS 140-2, Level 4 Hardware Security Module (HSM) available - allows authorized users to generate, store and use high quality keys within a tamper reactive, Ethernet-connected HSM.

AEP Keyper is the most comprehensive cryptographic HSM of its class for secure key management, offering public key infrastructure (PKI) administrators the highest levels of assurance and performance. AEP Networks' revolutionary ACCE technology, at the heart of AEP Keyper, guarantees the safety and integrity of critical key material. AEP Keyper is ideally suited to businesses deploying a cryptographic system where the protection of cryptographic keys is a priority, for example, in organizations requiring certificate signing, code or document signing, bulk generation or ciphering of keys or data.

AEP Keyper is available as Keyper Enterprise and Keyper Professional.
