Hardware Security Modules

Learning objectives

  • Understand what a Hardware Security Module (HSM) is and what it can be used for.
  • Know the major HSM application domains and the most important certification aspects.

Overview

The module starts with a brief overview of the history of cryptography told from a Hardware Security Module (HSM) perspective. The presentation then goes through the detailed definition of HSMs and their application domains. The following aspects of an HSM are elaborated in detail: physical security, logical security, cryptographic functions, the special characteristics of a random generator and, finally, key management. There are dedicated standards and certifications for security products and two of them are described, namely the Common Criteria and FIPS 140-2.
