Certificate List

To use Signum with certificates, the certifications must be issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) using a certificate signing request. This ensures that the private key that is generated when a new CSR is created only exists within the FIPs boundary of the HSM.

The private key is non-exportable from the HSM. This method ensures a high level of security for the private signing key and provides for mechanisms to generate attestation in the future, to prove that the key was created within an HSM.
