Introducing the World's First M.2 High-Speed HSM by WiSECURE

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the focus has shifted from cloud computing to edge computing and robotics. With this transition, the security of AI data and sovereignty is under unprecedented scrutiny. WiSECURE Inc. has responded to this challenge by unveiling a high-speed M.2 hardware security module (HSM) at Japan's largest IT exhibition, the "2025 IT Week (Autumn)." This innovative product aims to bolster AI sovereignty management and secure data protection in an increasingly complex cybersecurity environment.

The Need for M.2 HSM

As edge computing devices and AI-generated data become prime targets for hackers, the issues of AI sovereignty and data security have gained significant attention. Modern cyber-attack techniques often involve infiltrating edge devices or on-site AI servers, then executing lateral movements to reach core systems, seeking to gain unauthorized control or steal training data. Such security breaches can lead to systemic vulnerabilities that may jeopardize intellectual property and even societal safety. From a perspective of digital sovereignty, significant data leaks through AI can threaten the very foundation of technological advancements within companies.

To address these concerns, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published "NIST SP 800-82 Rev.3" in 2023, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures for operational technology (OT) systems, including access control and change management. The European Union is also set to approve the "AI Act" and "Cyber Resilience Act" by 2024, mandating compliance with cybersecurity requirements throughout the lifecycle of network-connected products. Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry advocates for system-wide security measures in its "Cyber Physical Security Framework (CPSF)" and associated guidelines.

Enhancing Edge Computing Security without Redesign

The M.2 HSM by WiSECURE is a uniquely designed high-speed module tailored for compact form factors. It provides robust key management and encryption/decryption services within servers and edge devices, supporting quantum-resistant cryptography (FIPS203/FIPS204). With the proliferation of NVMe SSDs in servers and edge devices, the M.2 interface has become a leading choice for high-speed data handling. Multiple modules can be stacked in M.2 slots to enhance processing efficiency while addressing diverse data protection needs.

Equipped with multiple M.2 HSMs and proprietary APIs, AI servers and edge devices can securely manage sensitive authentication tokens and cryptographic keys in hardware, enhancing security without compromising AI performance.

Potential Applications of M.2 HSM

• - AI Model Protection
• - Firmware Tamper Resistance
• - Database Encryption
• - Device Certificate Issuance
• - Identity Authentication
• - Encryption of Device Data
• - Access Control
• - Secure Communication

Key Features of M.2 HSM

• - Rapid Cryptography: Equipped with AES hardware acceleration for fast encryption, signing, and authentication, supporting RSA and ECC, ensuring high security in edge environments.
• - Robust Physical Security: Core keys are physically isolated within the chip, designed to prevent remote attacks and tampering with military-grade security features.
• - High Scalability: Simultaneously operates multiple HSMs within one device, ensuring extension of processing capabilities and scalability.
• - Next-Gen Quantum Defense: Featuring post-quantum cryptography (PQC) support, protecting against next-generation quantum threats at the hardware level.

WiSECURE has developed the world’s first M.2 HSM, leveraging years of expertise in cryptography and hardware security. Through its debut in Japan, the company aims to utilize Taiwan's strengths in the semiconductor and electronics supply chains as a springboard for extensive global expansion.
