For the Enterprise, the Utimaco CryptoServer SDKs represent the ability to migrate business logic to, accelerate cryptographic operations on, or even to produce entirely new algorithms for the HSM.
Because the SDK-developed "custom firmware modules" run directly within the physical security boundary of the HSM, the protection level around the enterprise's intellectual property is elevated to the same as its cryptographic keys, encrypted data, digital signatures and other sensitive material. In effect, enterprise IP becomes a peer of the security protection envelope.
