Virtual HSM

A virtual HSM (vHSM) combines the robust security of hardware-based solutions with the flexibility of confidential virtualization. Virtualization enables seamless integration and migration within complex cloud environments, ensuring scalability, elasticity, high performance, and availability. At the same time, the vHSM employs advanced encryption mechanisms, including 3D encryption, to enhance security, ensuring that neither the cloud provider nor any unauthorized entity can access sensitive keys. Essentially, the security architecture of a vHSM mirrors that of a traditional HSM, with the key distinction being that physical hardware security is replaced by encryption and confidential virtualization technologies.
