# Hardware security module setup

A hardware security module (HSM) can be integrated with OneSpan Authentication Server to provide an extra layer of security to data storage.

OneSpan Authentication Server supports the following hardware security modules:

- Entrust nShield Connect XC (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 64-bit (x86_64))
- Entrust nShield Solo XC (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 64-bit (x86_64))
- Thales ProtectServer 3 HSM devices
- Thales ProtectServer 2 HSM devices

If you plan to integrate OneSpan Authentication Server with a supported hardware security module, the HSM must be installed and work correctly before you install OneSpan Authentication Server.
