The Primus Hardware Security Modules S4/S6/S6P have been built exclusively for the Swiss Interbank Clearing System operated by SIX-SIC under the supervision of the Swiss National Bank. Daily transactions of over CHF 100 billion are protected by Primus HSMs.
The Primus HSM models S4/S6/S6P, meticulously designed, developed, and manufactured in Switzerland, are exclusively tailored for the Swiss banking system SIC, meeting its unique requirements and standards.
Setting industry benchmarks, our product offers market-leading encryption and authentication performance, ensuring the utmost security for sensitive data and transactions. Thanks to its dynamic FPGA (field programmable gate array) based architecture, all models of the new HSM series support PQC algorithms and will be updated according to the on-going standardization processes.
The Primus HSM models S4, S6 and S6P differ in performance and the maximum number of partitions (logical HSMs for multi-tenancy).
