The need for Hardware Security Module

Without HSM, all the SSL handling including cryptographic keys is performed by AppScaler. It is all well and applicable in many situations.

However HSM acts as trust anchors that protect the cryptographic infrastructure of some of the most security-conscious organizations in the world by securely managing, processing, and storing cryptographic keys inside a hardened, tamper-resistant device. HSM is used to protect transactions, identities, and applications, as HSMs excel at securing cryptographic keys and provisioning encryption, decryption, authentication, and digital signing services for a wide range of applications.

Also with the advent of hybrid and completely virtualized infrastructures, the need to store the keys on an on-premise secure data center arises.

Benefits of HSM

With AppScaler Hardare Security Module Support, you can:

  • Address compliance requirements with solutions for Blockchain, GDPR, IoT, paper-to-digital initiatives, PCI DSS, digital signatures, DNSSEC, hardware key storage, transactional acceleration, certificate signing, code or document signing, bulk key generation, data encryption, and more.
  • Keys are generated, and always stored in the intrusion-resistant, tamper-evident, FIPS-validated appliance, providing the strongest levels of access controls.
  • Create partitions with a dedicated Security Office per partition, and segment through admin key separation.
