Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a security solution that manages digital keys and is been used widely in PKI environments that facilitates encryption, decryption, signing, verification. Motivation behind HSM is
to provide a safe environment to interact with a private key. Without this environment, the key is risk being exposed. HSM is a cryptography device (Hardware server / PCIe) card that is responsible for governing
the entire life cycle of private keys. The life cycle includes generation, distribution, rotation, storage, destruction and archiving. Built to create a tamper resistant secure environment for cryptographic
operations which is fast and secure, without compromising the secret keys it contains. There are many ways in which HSM devices can be used in blockchain, leveraging this established hardware technology to protect
keys. The potentials are as follows:
Generation of private and public key pairs
Secure storage for private keys
Sign & verify transactions
Hierarchical deterministic wallet support
Encrypt, decrypt and use keys records from databases
Logging in tracking usage of keys
We offer an optional Blockchain Integrated Edge System (BIES) solution combining HSM for enterprises requiring an extra added layer of security.
