nShield is said to be suitable for high-volume issuance environments owing to its ability to support high transaction rates.
According to the supplier, nShield’s high cryptographic capacity allows key functions such as EMV data preparation, key generation and data protection.

Entrust Datacard vice president of Bureau Solutions Dan Good said: “Integrating the nShield Issuance HSM into our centralised and instant card issuance solutions is the next step in our mission to provide our customers with the complete solutions, trust and peace of mind they need.”
