Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2

The last word on payment data security

HSM hardware security module Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2
For payments and general-purpose encryption

The world’s most advanced payment HSM

The Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 is the fastest hardware security module (HSM) in the world. A transaction processing powerhouse, the Excrypt SSP v.2 combines vast cryptographic functionality with near-limitless scalability. Its robust virtualization capabilities allow users to create virtual HSMs with unique firmware versions, users, key storage, and security policies. This, as well as the module’s integration with all common APIs and host applications, plus its robust compliance with standards like FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and PCI PTS HSM, make it the backbone of enterprise data security infrastructure.

Power, performance, and utility

The Excrypt SSP v.2 is the fastest payment HSM in the world, both in terms of transactions per second (TPS) and signatures per second (SPS). Its performance, as well as its range of cryptographic functions and level of redundancy, and can be scaled according to need.

Universal compatibility

The Excrypt SSP v.2 integrates with almost every financial host application software sold around the world, thanks to its broad support for all common APIs, including standards-based interfaces and web APIs. This, plus its backward compatibility with other Excrypt HSMs, makes it especially easy to deploy within enterprise processing environments.

Scripting and automation

Users can create and deploy virtual HSMs with the Futurex Client Library (FXCL) and the Futurex Command Line Interface (FXCLI), with user-focused scripting and automation capabilities.

Disaster recovery and redundancy

The Excrypt SSP v.2 contains integrated disaster recovery and redundancy features. The device complies with all major key management best practices and features physical and logical security controls.

Sheer processing power

The Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 excels in high throughput environments where reliability and functionality are crucial.

Diverse use cases

Whether its card or mobile issuing, transaction acquiring, P2PE, remote key loading (RKL), this HSM has you covered.

HSM virtualization

Create logically independent HSMs in a host device for separate transaction processing environments.

Minimize downtime, no matter your throughput

The Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 excels in enterprise environments with high throughput and lots of applications. It provides full system redundancy and HSM virtualization, making it a cornerstone of security infrastructure. It happens to be the fastest payment HSM in the world, compliant with all major security standards, with support for all common APIs and encryption algorithms. Deploy on-premises for hands-on control or in Futurex’s VirtuCrypt cloud for on-demand HSM processing.

Digital transformation through HSM virtualization

Organizations can use the Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2's multitenancy capabilities to create a pool of cryptographic resources for their applications, shared among business units but managed in a central location. Critical data and keys can still be determined for specific applications and business units.

Avoid the trap of vendor-lock

Futurex products are designed with the integration process in mind, and the Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 is no exception. Its near-universal support for all APIs — including standards-based and web APIs — minimizes the effort of integrating it with applications and avoids being locked into using vendor-specific interfaces.

Highly available enterprise infrastructure

To further extend its potential, you can pair the Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 with other Futurex devices like the Guardian Series 3, which redistributes processing loads to backup devices to prevent the loss of functionality in the event of a disaster, as well as general load balancing.

Versatile deployment options

Like all Futurex solutions, the Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, through Futurex's VirtuCrypt cloud platform, for turn-key deployment.

Vaultless tokenization

Futurex uses vaultless tokenization, an advanced form of. This performs tokenization without token vaults, reducing exposure of clear-text data. 

Point-to-point encryption (P2PE)

The Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 encrypts data from the point of capture to storage. This ensures that data is never transmitted in the clear and boosts compliance.

Next-gen transaction processing

Take advantage of highly scalable payment transaction processing speeds, with both issuing and acquiring possible within the same environment.

A dynamic scope of algorithms

The Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 supports all common asymmetric and symmetric encryption algorithms to provide a wealth of encryption options.

Host application integration

The Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 supports standards-based interfaces and web APIs to aid integration with external applications, no matter how many.

Integrated smart card reader

The Excrypt SSP Enterprise v.2 features an integrated smart card reader to meet best practices for loading/ distributing key components.
