Título:

Audit and backup procedures for Hardware Security
Modules

Resumo:

Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are an useful tool to
deploy public key infrastructure (PKI) and its applications.
This paper presents necessary procedures and protocols to
perform backup and audit in such devices when deployed in
PKIs. These protocols were evaluated in an implementation
of a real HSM, enabling it to perform secure backups and
to provide an audit trail, two important considerations for a
safe PKI operation. It also introduces a ceremony procedure
to support the operation of such HSMs in a PKI environment.
