Friendly Intro to Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)
Hardware security modules are specialized security devices for storing sensitive cryptographic material like encryption keys. By storing keys on a fortified hardware device, stealing the key becomes much more difficult. The alternative is to store keys on a normal server or computer, which can be significantly riskier.
