hardware security modules
Hardware security modules (HSMs) are specialized devices that provide secure protection for valuable data and cryptographic processes. These physical devices store and manage cryptographic keys, ensuring their confidentiality and integrity. HSMs offer strong authentication, encryption, and secure key management, making them highly secure against unauthorized access or tampering. They are commonly used in industries like finance, government, and healthcare to safeguard sensitive information and ensure the integrity of digital transactions.
