Dynamic Slot
Virtual card slots that can be associated with a card reader connected to a remote
computer. Remote Administration Slots are in addition to the local slot of an HSM and
any soft card slot that may be available. HSMs have to be configured to support
between zero (default) and 16 Remote Administration Slots.
ECDH
A variant of the Diffie-Hellman anonymous key agreement protocol which uses elliptic
curve cryptography.

ECDSA
Elliptic Curve DSA: a variant of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) which uses
elliptic curve cryptography.

ECIES
Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme; a variant of the Integrated Encryption
Scheme (sometimes known as Augmented Encryption Scheme) which uses elliptic
curve cryptography. It is a hybrid encryption scheme providing semantic security
against chosen-plaintext and chosen-ciphertext attacks.
Security World software supports ECIES key wrap and unwrap only.
EdDSA
Edwards-curve DSA; a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) which uses a variant of
Schnorr Signature based on Twisted Edwards curves.
nShield software supports the Edwards 25519 curve and its prehash variant,
Ed25519ph. The context variant, Ed25519ctx, is not supported. Keys generated using
the Ed25519 algorithm can be used for both Ed25519 and Ed25519ph signature
operations.
