A Hardware Security Module, HSM, is an optional cryptographic hardware device required in many PKI systems for several reasons; like protection of cryptographic keys in certified hardware, and where high performance is needed.
Since any HSM stores your cryptographic keys in certified hardware, rendering is virtually impossible to thieve trough copying. HSMs also enables cryptographic operations such as digital signatures, significantly higher speed and orders of magnitude.
Partnering with vendors of Hardware Security Modules, PrimeKey can offer high security HSMs from all the leading suppliers:
