How do you select a vendor for a project?

We start from your requirements for assurance level, load, interfaces and operating model and match them against the series of the seven vendors. When several series fit, we name the trade-offs openly, for example assurance level against throughput. The result goes into a decision paper that you can pass on internally.

Are you a distributor for these products?

No, we are a partner of each vendor named here and we take responsibility for selection, integration and operations. We claim no exclusivity, because the choice follows your requirement and not a framework contract. Procurement and licenses we clarify together with the vendor and your purchasing department.

Which products does this section cover today?

Today the section holds one category, hardware security modules, with seven vendor pages from Utimaco to IDEMIA. Further categories for key management, signing and data encryption follow as soon as the research proves every series. If a product you are evaluating is missing, tell us about it.

Who operates the solution after the rollout?

You decide that. You can run the devices yourself, hand operations over to us or use the vendor offering as a service. One team accompanies you from consulting to operations, so contacts and documentation stay the same after the project.

Products

Products for cryptography and secure data

This section holds hardware and software for cryptography, key management and secure data, and every product comes from a vendor that OTOKO® partners with. For every series we name the assurance levels, the application interfaces and the operating models, so that you can document your choice for auditors.

The products section at a glance

The section brings together products that generate keys, protect them and make them usable for applications. We are a partner of each vendor and not a distributor, so we compare the series against your requirements for assurance level, load and operations. Every figure on a vendor page comes from the official product documentation.

Cryptography and hardware security modules are our core competence. We know the certification schemes, the interfaces and the limits of each product line, and we tell you where a device runs out of throughput. From that knowledge comes a selection your auditors can follow.

Categories: Two categories: hardware security modules and our own platforms
Vendors: Utimaco, Thales, Entrust, IBM, Futurex, Marvell, IDEMIA
Operating models: Own data center, managed service, as a service
Recurring standards: FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria, PCI PTS HSM, eIDAS

Our categories

01Hardware security modules
Hardware security modules generate and store keys inside a certified device that never releases a key in plaintext. The category covers seven vendors with series for general applications, for payments and for key management. We compare assurance level, performance, interfaces and operating model and match each series to your use case.
Hardware security modules generate and store secret keys. They do this inside a certified device. The key never leaves that device in plaintext. The category covers seven vendors. There are series for general applications, payments and key management. We compare assurance level, performance, interfaces and operating model. Then we match each series to your use case.

How we work with vendors

Vendor neutral advice

We compare the series of several vendors against your requirements and name the trade-offs instead of promoting one product line.

Integration and operations from one team

One team accompanies you from consulting to operations. The same people connect your applications and later watch the devices in production.

Cryptography and HSM

Cryptography and hardware security modules are our core competence. We know firmware, key ceremonies and migration paths, not only the data sheet.

German data centers

The entire solution runs in German data centers. We settle location, access and documentation with your audit department up front.
