low-cost HSM alternative

Security for private keys with Z1 Energy
Z1 Cryptographic Module handles the creation, storage and use of private keys for AS4 communication and for API Web services communication in a cryptographically protected area. As such, it meets the requirements for Security Level 1 for passive external market participants as specified in the Key Lifecycle Security Requirements according to the Certificate Policy of the Federal Smart Metering PKI (Version 1.1.2 – Section 6.2). Z1 Cryptographic Module is seamlessly integrated into our Z1 Energy solution.
What are passive external market participants?
According to the Certificate Smart Metering PKI Certificate Policy, chapter 1.3.3.4 (only in German), passive external market participants (pEMT) are defined as those participants that receive or exchange data from Smart Metering Gateways (SMGWs), but do not control these devices.
Security concept for Z1 Cryptographic Module – efficient & cost-saving
With Z1 Cryptographic Module, you choose a cost-effective alternative to a Hardware Security Module (HSM) as a passive external market participant, while also saving on your security concept. While active market participants must have their HSM-based security concept certified through an ISO/IEC 27001-compliant audit, passive EMTs using Z1 Cryptographic Module only need to document a security concept on their own responsibility. If you decide for Z1 Cryptographic Module, you can order the creation of the security concept from us.
Integration of a hardware security module (HSM)
The integration of an HSM with Z1 Energy is possible – depending on the model. Please specify your HSM when submitting an inquiry, as the technical specifications of each HSM product must be checked individually.

- Secure management of private keys for AS4 or API web services
- Regulatory conformity to Security Level 1 according to Smart Metering PKI
