If an organization is storing sensitive data in public cloud environments, it should take steps to manage access to this data. Encrypting data at rest and in transit dramatically reduces the risk of unauthorized access. Encryption keys should be stored in a hardware security module (HSM) and hav...
What Does Hardware Security Module Mean? A hardware security module is a secure crypto processor focused on providing cryptographic keys and also provides accelerated cryptographic operations by means of these keys. The module acts as a trust anchor and provides protection for identities, applications ...
This may involve storing your key in a key vault or a hardware security module (HSM). While it’s true that you want your recipient to know the key, you want to ensure that no one unintended gets their hands on it. If they do, then your key is useless and should be destroyed ...
Learn what important roles hardware security modules (HSM) play in encryption, the pros and cons of using one, and more in this blog.
What does it mean to encrypt a file? File encryption is a way of encoding files, including the sensitive data they contain, in order to send them securely. The encoding prevents unauthorized access and tampering by malicious actors. It keeps a file from being read by anyone except the person...
How Using an HSM Can Help Your Business You may be wondering why you need to use a hardware security module at all. I mean, why should you go through the hassle and cost of setting up an HSM when you can simply use your web server’s built-in functionalities?
Today, security solutions are already a mix of security at the edge (device) and the core (network). Several security frameworks may co-exist in the future, and 5G is likely to re-use existing solutions used today for 4G networks and the cloud (SEs, HSM, certification, Over-The-Air pro...
What Does Certificate Authority Server Mean? A certificate authority server (CA server) offers an easy-to-use, effective solution to create and store asymmetric key pairs for encrypting or decrypting as well as signing or validating anything that depends on a public key infrastructure (PKI). ...
