1.2.2 Security World Cards

Both types of HSM modules are shipped with the nShield Security World cards (Figure 1-4) that can be used to create an Administrator Card Set (ACS). The ACS provides access to the administrative functions of the Security World:

  • Control access to Security World configuration
  • Authorize recovery and replacement operations
ACS cards are initialized upon creation of the Security World.
