Bull’s totally modular and customizable CRYPT2Protect systems provide hardware and software solutions to support a wide range of applications with high security requirements from payment to PKI (public key infrastructures). With Bull you can benefit from our banking transactions experience in all your applications.

CRYPT2Protect is used to provide cryptographic services for data encryption, message integrity, user and data authentication, secure storage of keys and security information, signature, secure electronic transaction management applications, e-commerce applications and public key infrastructures (PKI).

A usage profile adapted to the banking environment (CRYPT2Pay) offers all the functions needed to manage PIN codes, to perform data preparation and personalization of cards, and to manage card transactions.

CRYPT2Protect is built on the FIPS 140-2 Level 3+ certified Hardware CHR, which ensures physical and logical protection to cryptographic keys preventing unauthorized access to such highly sensitive information.

Externally connected to the host computer via a TCP/IP interface over ethernet, CRYPT2Protect relieves the hosts of cryptographic processing load and optimizes the use of their resources for the processing of critical applications.

Bull offers various APIs to allow users to easily integrate their application to cryptography. The portfolio includes an implementation of a Java API, a PKCS#11 API, and seamless integration with OpenSSL via a PKCS#11 engine.

CRYPT2Protect offers many scenarios for use:

• The PKCS#11 API is supported by many applications for various scenarios.
• CRYPT2Protect is integrated into public key infrastructures (PKI), including the MetaPKI product line published by Bull.
• CRYPT2Protect offers high-level services for the implementation of authentication servers (CAP OATH) for access control to application or electronic commerce (3D-Secure).
• A usage profile adapted to the banking environment (CRYPT2Pay) offers all the functions needed to manage PIN codes, to perform data preparation and personalization of cards, and to manage card transactions.
• New functions can be developed and integrated into the CRYPT2Protect product to meet the specific needs of our customers. Please contact Bull Customer Service.
