HSM Usage (Premium Feature)

Premium Feature

Hardware Security Module (HSM) support is a Premium Feature and is available as an Opt-In addition to your azuma doa subscription.

Overview​

azuma doa supports the use of Hardware Security Modules (HSM) to provide the highest level of security for your cryptographic keys. By offloading key management and cryptographic operations to dedicated hardware, you ensure that sensitive keys never leave the secure boundary of the HSM.

Key Benefits​

  • Enhanced Key Protection: Keys are generated and stored within the HSM, making them practically immune to software-based extraction or theft.
  • BSI TR Compliance: Our HSM integration helps you meet strict regulatory requirements such as BSI TR 03161.
  • Secure Cryptographic Operations: All signing and encryption operations are performed within the hardware, reducing the attack surface.

Integration​

The HSM integration is designed to be seamless. Once opted-in and configured for your tenant, azuma doa will automatically utilize the HSM for:

  • Token signing (JWT)
  • Identity Proofing signatures

How to Opt-In​

To enable HSM support for your tenant, please contact us. Once enabled for your tenant, you can enable/disable the usage yourself.
