(Optional, Only If You are Using HSMs) Requirements for HSM

If you are planning to use HSM to store encryption keys, then set up the following components before you proceed:

1. HSM Server
2. HSM Client
3. At least one 3DES key created in HSM (You will need this 3DES key for encrypting information in the database).

   Important! Ensure that you have safely written down the labels of the 3DES keys. You need them later for encrypting information in the database.

See your platform vendor documentation for detailed information about how to install and configure your HSM Server and Client components and generate the required keys.
