HARDWARE SECURITY MODULE EQUIPMENT WITH NATIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF A CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEY MANAGEMENT COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL AND REMOTE CONFIDENCE ENHANCEMENT METHOD FOR AUTHORIZATION OF OPERATIONS

摘要

The present invention describes a hardware security module (HSM) used for storing cryptographic objects with native implementation of a communication protocol used in diverse cryptographic key management interfaces. This configuration enables the HSM to establish secure communication directly with the user, dispensing with the use of intermediate servers, which allows additional security in the virtual provision of HSM services and secure code execution. A confidence enhancement method is also described, for the authorization of operations by entities or paper operations in an HSM with two or more authentication factors, via a remote connection, such as to guarantee access to the objects of the same user which are protected by the HSM.
