Architectural Layers & Silicon Defenses

Layer 1: Enterprise Rackmount HSM Silicon (FIPS 140-3 L3 Physical Security Enclosure): Physically protecting the enterprise private root signing keys and RADIUS server private credentials.
Layer 2: High-Speed EAP-TLS Authentication Engine (Hardware TLS 1.3 Handshake Accelerator): Terminating concurrent IEEE 802.1X client authentication handshakes in under 15 milliseconds per workstation.
Layer 3: Automated Certificate Management Pipeline (EST (RFC 7030) / SCEP / ACME Server): Issuing and automatically rotating X.509 device certificates for thousands of corporate laptops, phones, and printers.
Layer 4: Network Access Control (NAC) & Switch Fabric (RADIUS RFC 2865 / TACACS+ / Dynamic VLAN): Communicating with core campus switches to assign authenticated endpoints into dynamically isolated VLAN segments.

Cryptographic Telemetry & Compliance: < 15 ms (802.1X EAP-TLS Handshake) | 50,000+ (Concurrently Managed Endpoints) | 100% (Automated Certificate Lifecycle) | Zero-Trust (Port-Level Network Isolation)

Hardware-Vertrauensbasen für interne Unternehmensnetzwerke

Internal corporate networks face persistent threats from rogue physical devices, lateral malware propagation, and credential spoofing. LanHSM acts as the hardware-isolated trust anchor for local network security, generating and validating IEEE 802.1X EAP-TLS client certificates and serving as a high-security internal Certification Authority.

Core Engineering Areas

IEEE 802.1X EAP-TLS Hardware Acceleration — Engineering high-throughput authentication engines capable of handling morning login storms across enterprise campus switches.
Enterprise Private PKI Appliance — Deploying turnkey internal Certificate Authorities backed by FIPS 140-3 Level 3 hardware security modules.
Local Network Microsegmentation — Transforming open local area networks into zero-trust zones enforced by hardware-attested cryptographic identities.
