AWS CloudHSM is a cloud-based hardware security module (HSM) that enables you to generate and use your own encryption keys on the AWS Cloud. With CloudHSM, you can manage your own encryption keys using FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated HSMs. Your HSMs are part of a CloudHSM cluster. CloudHSM automatically manages synchronization, high availability, and failover within a cluster. CloudHSM is part of the AWS Cryptography suite of services, which also includes AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority (ACM PCA). KMS and ACM PCA are fully managed services that are easy to use and integrate. You’ll generally use AWS CloudHSM only if your workload needs a single-tenant HSM under your own control, or if you need cryptographic algorithms that aren’t available in the fully-managed alternatives. CloudHSM offers several options for you to connect your application to your HSMs, including PKCS#11, Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE), or Microsof...
