- Feature Enabling Certificate (FEM); optional feature
- Definition
- nShield HSM licensing: "nShield Feature Activation - activates a specific function that is disabled on the HSM by default", for example post-quantum algorithms for XC, CodeSafe and elliptic curves.
- Counting rules
- Delivered as a Feature Enabling Certificate bound to the HSM Electronic Serial Number (ESN). Most features are static and survive HSM initialisation; client licences and SEE Activation (Restricted) are dynamic. Features set in the factory persist on nShield 5s after return to factory state; features applied by certificate are lost and must be re-applied.
