What is HSMs?

Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are dedicated hardware devices used to securely manage, process, and store cryptographic keys. They provide a tamper-resistant environment for performing sensitive cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption, digital signing, and key generation. HSMs are commonly used in applications requiring high levels of security, such as banking, payment processing, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), and digital rights management.
