"OpenSSL Meets PKCS#11: Working with Hardware-Backed Keys" - Dmitry Misharov

OpenSSL is everywhere but when private keys must be protected by hardware, traditional file-based workflows break down. This is where PKCS#11 and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) enter the picture.

This talk introduces PKCS#11 as the standard API for accessing cryptographic objects without exposing key material. We will briefly cover what HSMs are, why they are used in production environments, and how they differ from software key stores.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about cutting edge technology and engage with our team. We are looking forward to meeting you.
