FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a dedicated security appliance designed to generate, store, protect, and manage cryptographic keys within a highly secure environment. By isolating sensitive cryptographic operations from applications and servers, an HSM significantly reduces the risk of key compromise and strengthens the security of encryption, authentication, digital signatures, and PKI infrastructures.

Proteccio is the only Hardware Security Module qualified by ANSSI at the highest level of qualification, Enhanced Qualification(QR). Designed, developed, and manufactured in France, it combines sovereign security, advanced physical and logical protection mechanisms, and high-assurance cryptographic services for organizations operating critical and regulated infrastructures.

ANSSI enhanced qualification (QR) is the highest level of security qualification delivered by the French National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI). It certifies that a security solution has successfully undergone extensive technical evaluations and demonstrates resistance against advanced attack scenarios. For organizations operating critical infrastructures or handling highly sensitive information, ANSSI QR provides the highest level of confidence in the security and trustworthiness of a solution.

Proteccio can act as a root of trust for a wide range of security applications, including cryptographic key management, PKI infrastructures, digital signatures, database encryption, authentication systems, cloud security, data protection platforms, code signing, and digital identity management. It is particularly suited for environments requiring strong security, compliance, and sovereignty.
