The job of the HSM is to securely generate long term secrets for use in Cryptography and protect the access to and use of those secrets over time. Many HSM systems have a means to securely backup the keys either in a wrapped form via the computers operating system or externally using a Smartcard or some other USB Token . Most HSM systems are also hardware Cryptographic Accelerators . Since they do not allow the keys to be removed from the device in an unencrypted form they must be able to perform the common cryptographic operations. |
