Cloud HSM

Cloud Hardware Security Module

Definition

A cloud HSM is a dedicated, tamper-resistant hardware device hosted in a cloud provider's data center that generates and stores cryptographic keys in a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware environment. Unlike software key stores, HSMs provide hardware-enforced key isolation where private key material never leaves the device.

Cloud HSM services (AWS CloudHSM, Azure Dedicated HSM, Google Cloud HSM) are required for regulatory scenarios mandating hardware-backed key storage.
