Practical Applications and Security Advantages of EviCrypt NFC HSM
The EviCrypt NFC HSM technology offers robust security for sensitive communications by allowing users to create and securely store encryption keys within an NFC card. This card operates without the need for a battery, cables, or charging, ensuring ease of use and portability.
Data Protection and Security: The encryption keys generated by the user are stored exclusively on the NFC card, providing a secure environment for managing sensitive information. When messages are encrypted using these keys, they become unreadable by any unauthorized party, including potential hackers. This ensures that any data transmitted to servers, the cloud, or other destinations remains secure and inaccessible to unauthorized entities.
Operational Simplicity: Users can encrypt and decrypt messages directly from their mobile devices using the NFC card. This process is seamless and requires no additional hardware or software, other than the NFC-enabled phone and the EviCrypt NFC HSM application. The recipient, equipped with a similar NFC device, can decrypt the messages securely, maintaining the integrity of the communication.
Physical Security: Even if the NFC card is lost or stolen, the encryption keys remain protected. The card is designed with segmented authentication keys, making it virtually impossible for unauthorized users to access the encrypted content. This feature ensures that sensitive information remains secure, even in the event of physical theft of the device.
End-to-End Encryption: The use of EviCrypt NFC HSM ensures that all communications, whether sent over email, cloud services, or other platforms, are encrypted from end to end. This guarantees that no intermediary or third party can access the data, maintaining the confidentiality and privacy of the user’s communications.
