Description The Amazon AWS Key Management Service HSM is a multi-chip standalone hardware cryptographic appliance designed to provide dedicated cryptographic functions to meet the security and scalability requirements of the AWS Key Management Service (KMS). The cryptographic boundary is defined as the secure chassis of the appliance. All key materials are maintained exclusively in volatile memory in the appliance and are erased immediately upon detection of physical tampering.

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
