Cryptography : What are Hardware Security Modules (HSM)?

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

The moment you start to believe in the security of cloud applications is the moment you also believe in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. (Because software is unfortunately still too vulnerable for such a belief). Great video. I really would have liked to see an overview of consumer grade HSMs on this channel. You have the heart and the head to explain it the right way.

Thanks for commenting, I do have access to some consumer grade HSMs, but they're from a single vendor and I want to remain as vendor neutral as possible. So i decided to use softhsm2 instead. My plan is to finish PKCS#11 series and save the HSMs i have for the final video..

@@CyberHashira You don't mean Yu...Key by any chance? Well, there is an OpenSource competitor called OpenKey, about which I unfortunately know too little so far, except that it is OpenSource.

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

Having taken some first looks at the OpenKey I would say it has Pros and Cons. The BIG pro however is that it's EASY possible to copy the contents of one key to a backup key WITHOUT any non-local software and pretty easy commands. A bulk copy is something I have been missing on the Yubikey from the moment I have started to read it's documentation. Big design flaw for every security concerned end consumer in my opinion.

Do you hava a video of how is HSM process works?

[@CyberHashira]

The way an HSM works may vary from vendor to vendor, with each having its own unique implementation for securing the Cryptographic module and using it. This video covers what an HSM is, its intended functions, and what you can expect from it. Do tell if there's something specific you want to know..

Go and play with some cute girls instead. All this digital bullshit if broken in 80 percent of the cases anyways. So are the girls. But they are softer and squishier. 😆

When you said "It has nothing to do with crypto currency" 🤣🤣🤣
