  • Access to high security data protection solution from cloud, data center or on-premises applications
  • Streamlined, easy connection to nShield hardware security module cryptographic services
  • Enables fast and scalable dynamic application deployment
  • Flexible OS and architecture support

The nShield Web Services Option Pack (WSOP) provides a REST-like1 API between applications requiring cryptographic key and data protection services and FIPS certified nShield hardware security modules (HSMs). nShield HSMs perform a variety of cryptographic functions including encryption, decryption, signing, verifying, and key generation. These core functions are now available to applications through a simple web-service interface utilizing the universal HTTPS protocol.

Efficient access to remote cryptographic services from the cloud, data center or on-premises applications

Applications that reside anywhere, whether in the cloud, in remote data centers or locally, can access nShield services through https based web service calls via the REST-like API, bringing greater flexibility to today’s varied computing environments.

Streamlined development process

The efficient, modern web service interface improves the speed with which applications can be developed to access nShield HSM crypto services.

No need for client-side integration

Typically, integrating applications with nShield HSMs requires binding to local host libraries and deploying local services; by using the web services REST-like API, developers benefit from reduced deployment complexity

Flexible OS and architecture support

The web services REST-like interface is independent of client application infrastructure and requires no OS-specific software local to the application, thus simplifying integration, particularly in custom environments

Dynamic scalability

Spin up new or additional application workloads without requiring further HSM configuration, support software installation or client licenses; adjust your capacity up or down to meet demand easily - including WSOP nodes when deployed in a container architecture

Support load balancing using dedicated COTS appliances

WSOP allows the HSM workload to be managed using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) load balancers simplifying the HSM deployment/ configuration and ensuring the best utilization of a pool of HSMs

nShield compatibility

  • The WSOP is compatible with all models of nShield Solo and Connect HSMs
  • Must be installed onto a host running a supported version of the Linux OS and have the nShield Security World software installed.
  • Supports Operator Card Set & Softcard protected keys
  • Compatible with the nShield Container Option Pack, allowing WSOP instantiations to be containerized.

API compatilibity

nShield HSMs can support applications using the Web Services API in conjunction with applications using other supported APIs (PKCS#11, Java, CNG, etc.).
