Chapter 3: ProtectServer External 2 Plus Installation and Configuration
Item
Name
Description
f
Second removable power supply
The other of two redundant power supplies.
g
Start/stop switch
Use to stop the system if the command-line shutdown is not
available; use to restart the system if it has been switched off.
h
USB ports
Unconfigured USB ports. These ports are not necessary for
any ProtectServer operations and are left unconfigured for
security purposes.
i
HSM USB port
Connects USB devices such as the USB smart card reader
and the legacy card reader to the HSM.
j
Unused port
This port is not used for the ProtectServer External 2 Plus; we
recommend that you do not remove the covers that are
installed at the factory.
Cryptographic architecture
A hardware-based cryptographic system consists of three general components:
>
One or more hardware security modules (HSMs) for key processing and storage.
>
High-level cryptographic API software. This software uses the HSM's cryptographic capabilities to provide
security services to applications.
>
Access provider software to allow communication between the API software and the HSMs.
Operating in network mode, a standalone ProtectServer External 2 Plus can provide key processing and
storage.
In network mode, access provider software is installed on the machine hosting the cryptographic API software.
The access provider allows communication between the API and the ProtectServer Network HSM Plus over a
TCP/IP connection. The HSM can therefore be located remotely, improving the security of cryptographic key
data
The figure below depicts a cryptographic service provider using the ProtectServer External 2 Plus in network
mode.
