Hardware Security Module (HSM)

Coupled with the many advantages brought by cloud computing and the growth in digital content, virtualization is critical to any enterprise that is looking to reduce fragmentation and allows IT Managers and CISOs to employ techniques that will ensure pol...

Moving to the cloud usually brings several advantages, such as flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. However, it also results in multiple security challenges – the main one being how the cryptographic keys are managed between existing i...

In today’s modern IT environments, code is distributed in a variety of forms. From standard software packages for Linux, Windows, MacOS and Java, to mobile apps, firmware, virtual machines, containers, and it’s even embedded in Microsoft...

Cryptography, in its simplest definition, generates code that allows data to be kept secret. And at the core of cryptographic operations is the creation of a key that is used to encrypt and decrypt that data. The challenge of both generating cryptographi...

As our digital footprint continues to grow even more rapidly by the expanding remote work world, more and more enterprises have shifted their focus to the cloud. For those with heavy investments in on-premise infrastructure, hardware security modules (HS...

In security, a “root of trust” is an element that can be trusted and then used to ensure that the entire system is secure. In cryptography, it can be used to mean many things, but the most basic root of trust is that cryptographic keys are secure and...

Ever wondered how it’s possible to hack a hardware security module (HSM)? ​We recently had the opportunity to chat with Dr. Fotis Loukos, researcher at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Director of Security Architecture at SSL Corp. ...

Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are physical boxes that carry out cryptographic operations, and never reveal the keys inside. They are designed to have very high security, and as such, are used to protect an organization’s most valuable cryptographic ...

Hardware Security Modules (HSM) have been the financial sector’s go-to key protection strategy for the past two decades. Multi-Sig has become the default choice for crypto-native institutions that want to secure cryptocurrencies and blockchain transact...
