EtherTrust

Traditionally, a Secure Element (like a SIM card or a chip in a credit card) is a micro-controller accessible via physical interfaces like ISO7816, SPI, or I2C. EtherTrust’s groundbreaking vision is to make these highly secure environments compatible with standard internet architecture, in order to create secure anchors.

pNHSM

Personal Network HSM (pNHSM)

The EtherTrust Personal Network HSM (pNHSM) is an innovative hardware security architecture based on a grid of Secure Elements. Each Secure Element operates as an TLS 1.3 Pre-Shared Key (PSK) server, identified by its Server Name Indication (SNI). A TLS Front Server provides TCP/IP connectivity and SNI-based routing to individual Secure Elements. Each element integrates its own Key Management System (KMS) and secure shell interface, enabling independent cryptographic operations and secure key management within a dedicated hardware.

LeMonolith

LeMonolith is a compact, single-Secure-Element implementation of the EtherTrust pNHSM architecture. It combines a System-on-Chip (SoC), acting as a TLS Front Server providing TCP/IP connectivity, with a dedicated Secure Element operating as a TLS 1.3 Pre-Shared Key (PSK) End Server. The Secure Element provides a physically isolated security environment integrating its own Key Management System (KMS) and secure shell interface. LeMONOLITH delivers hardware-protected cryptographic services and secure key management in a compact, standalone network-connected device.

MFA TLS-IM Token

The EtherTrust MFA TLS Identity Module (TLS-IM) Token is an innovative hardware security device combining a microcontroller and a TLS-IM javacard, to provide strong multi factor authentication. It performs TLS 1.3 pre-shared-key (PSK) cryptographic operations within a tamper-resistant chip. It enables secure authentication to TLS 1.3 PSK servers without exposing PSK.
It combines three authentication factors: physical possession, PIN verification, and explicit user confirmation through a push button. Its security architecture also includes microcontroller authentication using dynamic SRAM Physical Unclonable Functions (dPUF), firmware integrity verification through Bijective MAC Time-Stamped (bMAC_TS) attestation, and PKI-based Secure Element authentication. It also supports secure remote administration through a dedicated embedded TLS-PSK channel, providing a hardware-based foundation for trusted digital authentication.
