TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and HSM (Hardware Security Module) are considered as cryptoprocessor, but what are the differences exactly? Does one of them has more advantages than another?
The Use of HSM's for Certificate Authorities HSM's are common for CA applications, typically when a company is running there own internal CA and they need to protect the root CA Private Key, and when RAs need to generate, store, and handle asymmetric key pairs. Uses outside of a CA HSM's are suggested for a companies Privileged Access Security ...
Why is an HSM required to protect CA certificates (rather than a ...
I am going through the Thales HSM manuals, and frankly the key acronyms are driving me crazy. I would like to understand the differences between the following keys, and how they relate to one anoth...
Developing an HSM is a lot of work, especially if you are complying with FIPS level 3 / 4 physical tampering and side-channel resistance. I could imagine a world where a group of tech giants get fed up with specialty HSM vendors and decide to come together to develop an open hardware standard and jointly invest the money and time to get it ...
TL;DR What is the point of having hardware based HSM/FIPS based protection for the private key when the ability to sign is "only" protected by credentials / API keys? Background In the pa...

The insides of a smart card, small HSM (USB dongle size), TPM, SE, etc. are all the same. There is a question of how much storage it has, which primitives/algorithms are supported, and how many operations per second it can do with those primitives, and the specifics of the native API it supports (it has to implement the TCG spec to be a TPM, and regardless of native API, you can translate from ...
