General AWS CloudHSM Concepts

AWS CloudHSM is a cloud-based hardware security module (HSM) that
enables you to easily 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.

CloudHSM offers you the flexibility to integrate with your applications using
industry-standard APIs, such as PKCS#11, Java Cryptography Extensions
(JCE), and Microsoft CryptoNG (CNG) libraries.

CloudHSM is standards-compliant and enables you to export all of your keys

to most other commercially-available HSMs, subject to your configurations.

It is a fully-managed service that automates time-consuming administrative

tasks for you, such as hardware provisioning, software patching, high-
availability, and backups.

CloudHSM also enables you to scale quickly by adding and removing HSM
capacity on-demand, with no up-front costs.

CloudHSM runs in your VPC.
