Network attached hardware security modules (HSMs) are established these days but what if containerized applications could use local HSMs? And this at scale?

This talk introduces you to a device plug-in for Kubernetes that allows containers to access a local HSM. Container applications can benefit from the protection of key material by the HSM encryption key. This enables a variety of use cases on improving throughput when performing many cryptographic operations with wrapped keys or protecting signing keys to improve end-to-end and supply chain security.

This lightning talk provides an overview how Crypto Express cards can help clients to scale their cryptographic workload and, at the same time, protecting keys with HSM.
