Event Log Error Types

The following table lists the error entries that may be generated by the ProtectServer HSM firmware and written to the HSM’s event log.

Event records are written sequentially and chronologically. If the date and time of a later entry in the log is stating an earlier time than an entry preceding it, it indicates that the real time clock or audit information has been altered.
