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 security anchors.

pNHSM

Personal Network HSM (pNHSM)

The EtherTrust Personal Network HSM (pNHSM) is an innovative hardware security architecture built around a grid of Secure Elements. Each Secure Element, associated with a Secure Element Processor (SEP), embeds an independent TLS 1.3 Pre-Shared Key (PSK) End Server, known as TLS for Secure Elements (TLS-SE), and is individually addressed using Server Name Indication (SNI). A TLS Front Server provides TCP/IP connectivity and SNI-based routing, directing incoming TLS connections to the appropriate Secure Elements without terminating the end-to-end TLS sessions. Each Secure Element integrates its own Key Management System (KMS) and secure command-line shell interface, enabling independent cryptographic operations and secure key management within a dedicated, physically isolated hardware security domain.

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.
