Everything about Hardware security module

Physical computing device

A hardware security module (HSM) is a physical computing device that safeguards and manages secrets, and performs encryption and decryption functions for digital signatures, strong authentication and other cryptographic functions. These modules traditionally come in the form of a plug-in card or an external device that attaches directly to a computer or network server. A hardware security module contains one or more secure cryptoprocessor chips. Wikipedia →
