Luna SA Required Items

Follow this checklist to verify that you have all of items required for the installation.

Power Supply Cord (one for each power supply; style to suit country for which you ordered)

Null-Modem Serial Cable

SafeNet Luna PED?

Additionally, if your Luna SA is the PED-authenticated version, then you might also have ordered the following items (next page).

Note that you can use Luna PEDs and PED Keys that you already own and use with other HSMs, if they have firmware 2.4.0 or later – PEDs of the same type are interchangeable, and PED Keys can be used with multiple HSMs if that is appropriate in your context. You should purchase the number you need for your own convenient operation, and for backup/standby units as your security policies might require.

If you intend to use Remote PED functions, you will need a Luna PED 2 Remote version.

The standard Luna PED 2 is capable of local operation only.

SafeNet Luna PED2 (*)

1

Cable, Data, 9-pin, Micro-D to Micro-D connectors (for local PED operation)

1

Set of iKey PED Keys and peel-and-stick labels  

 

(* Standard PED 2 is shown. To use Luna SA with Remote PED function requires a Remote Capable PED – the standard PED does not have the Remote capability. They appear identical except for the availability of the “Remote” menu when powered on.)

Additional Options?

[Optionally]

You can back up your selected Luna SA HSM partition contents (root keys, certificates, other items) to a Luna Remote Backup HSM.

Qty Item
 1 

Luna Backup HSM(*)  

(* The SafeNet Luna Backup HSM is a backup-storage option, suitable for off-site storage, and for backing up multiple HSM partitions. Its contents are automatically secured at the same level of authentication security (Password versus PED) as the HSM it is backing up. The Luna Backup HSM can be connected directly [locally] to an HSM, or it can be connected to a computer to backup remotely located HSMs, in conjunction with Remote PED.)

[Optionally]

You can use your Luna SA appliance to expand the functionality and reach of applications that you might previously have conducted with SafeNet PCMCIA tokens (Luna PCM and Luna PCM CA4), such as Registration Authority for SmartCard issuance, or Key Escrow for managed PKI implementations, or root-key management in the production of encrypted removable storage devices, among other possibilities. This function makes use of the Luna G5 HSM (very similar in appearance to the Backup HSM).

Qty Item
 1 

Luna G5 HSM (for PKI)  

The authentication method for external HSMs must match the authentication method for any appliance HSM with which they are used.
