CodeSafe
The CodeSafe software developer toolkit provides the capability to create and execute sensitive applications within the protected perimeter of a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified nShield hardware security module (HSM).
CodeSafe can be used to execute any type of application within the tamper-resistant nShield HSM. Examples include cryptography and business logic associated with banking, smart metering, authentication agents, digital signature agents and custom encryption processes.
Because your sensitive applications execute within the HSM’s secure boundary, and not on an exposed host server, they are safeguarded against both internal and external threats.
CodeSafe creates a strong binding between cryptographic processes and the keys they use, ensuring that keys and data can only be used by authorized and immutable applications.
CodeSafe encompasses two components: a developer toolkit to compile applications and prepare them to be imported into the HSMs, and a run time environment that protects the application when in use. CodeSafe not only carves out a segregated and protected space for security-sensitive applications to be executed, but it also creates a strong binding between the cryptographic processes and the keys they use.

DownloadWhitepaper: CodeSafe
This white paper describes the unique nCipher CodeSafe capability, which enables application code to run within the protected confines of a tamper-resistant nShield Hardware Security Module (HSM). CodeSafe enables users to develop application code to run inside the HSM, providing protection against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) as well as insider attacks and hacking.
