HSM - Hardware Security Module
A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a specialized hardware device designed to manage and securely store cryptographic keys, perform cryptographic operations, and provide a secure environment for sensitive cryptographic processes. HSMs are used to enhance the security of applications and systems by safeguarding cryptographic keys and ensuring that critical operations, such as encryption and digital signatures, are performed in a tamper-resistant and protected environment.
Understanding the Hardware Security Module (HSM) is relevant for the Security+ exam, particularly in the context of cryptographic operations and key management.
