Luna Backup HSM 7

The Luna Backup HSM 7 is a full-featured, hand-held, USB-attached backup HSM that includes an informational full-color display. The Luna Backup HSM 7 connects easily to a client workstation using the included USB 3.0 Type C cable, and includes a universal 5V external power supply, which may be required to power the device in some instances.

The refreshed v2 model includes a USB-C port, which, combined with a USB-A to USB-C adapter, allows you to insert iKeys directly into the HSM, greatly simplifying the multifactor quorum authentication procedure and, depending on your configuration, eliminating the need for a Luna PED in backup/restore operations.

The Luna Backup HSM 7 is available in the following models. All models can be initialized in multifactor quorum or password-authenticated mode for backing up either multifactor quorum or password authenticated partitions. In-field storage upgrades are not available.

B700 32 MB storage, up to 100 partitions of the same authentication type
B750 128 MB storage, up to 100 partitions of the same authentication type
B790 256 MB storage, up to 100 partitions of the same authentication type

For setup, management, and backup/restore procedures, refer to the following sections:

NOTE   With firmware version 7.9.3 and newer, the Luna Backup HSM 7 can use any cryptographic algorithms used for secure cloning (CPv4) of keys and objects, including PQC/quantum-safe algorithms. The backup HSM recognizes, and can backup/restore, all the same mechanisms and key types that are available to the Luna General Purpose HSMs (GPHSM) of equivalent firmware versions. All Luna form factors support Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for secure generation and usage of keys along with backup and restore.

Refer to the following procedures depending on your authentication method, Luna Backup HSM 7 hardware, and Luna HSM Client versions:

>Luna Backup HSM 7 Using Direct Multifactor Quorum Authentication (requires Luna Backup HSM 7 v2 and Luna HSM Client 10.4.0 or newer)

>Luna Backup HSM 7 Using Remote Multifactor Quorum Authentication (requires Luna HSM Client 10.1.0 or newer)

Password Authentication

>Luna Backup HSM 7 Using Password Authentication (requires Luna HSM Client 10.1.0 or newer)
