Hmmm sounds like you haven't defined your objectives. I have used HSMs extensively in PKI projects for financial institutions and government and IMO by far nCipher are the best in the market.
You have to consider how you plan to communicate withy the device. Are you going to use 3rd party software or are you going to code something which uses the supplied PKCS#11 library. You could always consider using a software key store such as the Java Keystore or any number of providers. Unless there are any reglatory\legal or performance requirements I would consider a software solution. A hardware solution is likely to cost at least 7K for something suitable and more if you need something beefy. PM me if you want to know anything else. |
