(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 items before you proceed:

• HSM Server
• HSM Client
• At least one 3DES key that has been created in HSM (this 3DES key is used to encrypt information in the database)

  Important! Ensure that you have written down the labels of the 3DES keys in a secure location.

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.
