Rainbow-Chrysalis' Luna SA Hardware Security Module Receives the 'NSS Approved' Award From Leading Independent Security Testing Facility NSS Reports Luna SA Performs Exceptionally Well; Makes 'Recommended List' for Customers OTTAWA, Canada, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rainbow Technologies, Inc. , a leading provider of digital content and transaction security for the Internet and secure remote access solutions, today announced that its Luna SA hardware security module (HSM) achieved a coveted "NSS Approved" Award from The NSS Group, a leading independent security testing facility based in London, U.K. The designation follows The NSS Group's independent evaluation of leading public key infrastructure (PKI) hardware offerings. NSS Approved status means the Luna SA "performed exceptionally well" and that NSS officials would be happy to recommend the Luna SA to others. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020701/RAINLOGO ) Each HSM tested by The NSS Group was evaluated based on an in-depth technical analysis of the products, its pricing strategy, and its ease of use. According to Bob Walder, director of The NSS Group, "The Luna SA is a cost-effective server with outstanding performance, scalability, resiliency and ease of use." "What is attractive about the Luna SA's network-based approach is the ability to share the HSM functionality between multiple client applications," Walder added. "The Luna SA architecture provides an extremely secure environment for the private keys under its protection." With Luna SA, Rainbow-Chrysalis has, once again, demonstrated industry leadership and delivered the first HSM with the capability to secure shared access to critical encryption hardware over a TCP/IP network, which dramatically lowers the total cost of HSM deployment and ownership. In addition, the Luna SA maintains unparalleled levels of security for sensitive encryption data. Luna SA can also be easily partitioned into multiple virtual HSMs to support independent applications. "The NSS Group's analysis was the most in-depth independent analysis ever conducted on HSM products," said Randy Kun, vice president of marketing and product line management, Rainbow-Chrysalis. "Gaining a seal of approval from NSS validates the Luna SA for use in the world's most demanding security environments and will help us further increase our share of the secure key management market." The Luna SA is the world's first HSM server and Rainbow-Chrysalis HSMs have become the world's leading cryptographic hardware for key management used in the most demanding security environments such as financial services, government, and large enterprises.
