Founded in 2003 in the city of Campinas/SP, Brazil, Kryptus develops, integrates and deploys a wide array of solutions for hardware, firmware and software, ranging from semiconductors to complex digital certificate management systems, having a highly specialized technical team on cryptographic engineering and information security. Kryptus was named as "Gartner Cool Vendor Brazil 2014" by Gartner, Inc. Kryptus pioneered the field of semiconductors for cryptographic applications in Brazil by introducing the first ASIC AES accelerator. Recently, Kryptus cryptographic module ASI-HSM was the first and is the only HSM to be approved by ITI at its maximum security (MCT7 NSH3), promoting an import step in the Brazilian cryptographic hardware market. At the governmental level, solutions from Kryptus protect systems, data and communications as critical as the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure (ICP-Brazil), the Brazilian Electronic Voting Machines and Government Communications for military and civilian applications.
