This sounds pretty nice, how would you say it stacks up against YubiHSM? Can it be cheaper?
We shipped an application recently where groups of users use hardware keys to unlock sensitive information.
We were able to use FortifyApp (from PeculiarVentures) in conjunction with "regular" Yubikeys acting in PIV (smart card) mode. We seriously considered the YubiHSM instead with different shim software but it was really quite expensive when you need 1 per operator.
The other thing which would be a "must" for commercial uses (I think, anyway) would be supporting standard PKCS11 APIs. The API is... not that great, but it's the only thing that saves you from rewrites every hardware generation.
Would that be on the roadmap? If not, what's the interface between host(s) & hsm?
- captaincrunch 6y agoI haven't thought about pricing, but I'd like to keep it affordable. I think it is way more feature rich than the YubiHSM, its about the size of a pack of cigarettes (not as small as the yubi). Currently the interface between the host and hsm is an API. I'm working on a PKCS11 interface now, and have been messing with a very basic implementation of it.
