Introduction

Dinamo is a network attached HSM (Hardware Security Module), i.e. its services are offered via the network. Its main function is to be a secure repository for cryptographic keys. It is also a provider of cryptographic services, such as digital signatures, key generation and authentication, among others. HSM Dinamo comes in three models: ST, XP and CD.

Dinamo ST

Dinamo ST

Dinamo XP

Dinamo XP

Dinamo CD

Dinamo CD

The models share the internal firmware and all the functionalities, the difference being in the cryptographic processing capacity and key storage, as well as the redundant power supply. All the physical and logical security directives are present in all the devices.

Dinamo is an appliance designed from the outset to offer key storage protection in accordance with national and international standards. It adheres to market standards to ensure interoperability and ease of integration.

In this manual, when only the name Dinamo is mentioned, without distinguishing between models, it is implied that the text applies to all models. When a distinction needs to be made, it will be made explicitly.

As a repository and encryption platform, Dinamo is a solution that can be integrated quickly and securely to meet security demands in various segments, such as finance, industry, public administration and others.

The main features are:

  1. Architecture designed in compliance with national and international industry standards (ITI ICP-Brasil MCT 7 and NIST FIPS 140-2);
  2. Physical security with breach detection and response mechanisms;
  3. Access control to user and application keys;
  4. Separate access profiles;
  5. Operator authentication and HSM activation using smart cards (with M of N secret sharing scheme for greater security);
  6. Compatibility with market-standard APIs for easy integration with applications;
  7. High performance in signing and encryption operations;
  8. Rigidly defined operating modes;
  9. Secure backup;
  10. Complete and detailed audit trail;
  11. Use by multiple applications in a heterogeneous environment;

The ST, XP and CD models have FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation, certificate number 4167.

The ST and XP models are certified by Inmetro, in the ICP-Brasil Standard Digital Certification Equipment product class - PT Inmetro no. 8/2013 under the MCT-7 standard at Certification Security Level (NSC) 3, certificate numbers NCC 19.05920(ST) and NCC NCC 19.05921(XP).
