SafeNet PED?
Additionally, if your SafeNet Network HSM is the PED-authenticated version, then you might also have ordered the following items (next page).
Note that you can use SafeNet 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 SafeNet PED 2 Remote version.
The standard SafeNet PED 2 is capable of local operation only.

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 SafeNet Network HSM 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 SafeNet Network HSM partition contents (root keys, certificates, other items) to a SafeNet Remote Backup HSM.

SafeNet Backup HSM(*)
|
(* The SafeNet SafeNet 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 SafeNet 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 SafeNet Network HSM appliance to expand the functionality and reach of applications that you might previously have conducted with SafeNet PCMCIA tokens (SafeNet PCM and SafeNet 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 SafeNet USB HSM (very similar in appearance to the Backup HSM).

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