ІТ systems compatible with hardware modules (HSM)

Hardware modules (also known as hardware devices or tokens) are physical devices used to store and process confidential information and provide security in computer systems. They are used for storing cryptographic keys, certificates, and other confidential information. Hardware modules are effective for performing cryptographic operations. The main difference between YubiKey hardware modules is their specification, functions and capabilities, for example:

• YubiKey YubiHSM 2 is the most compact USB device you can connect to your computer or laptop.
• It supports various authentication methods, including single-factor, two-factor, and multifactor. It can be used to generate one-time passwords, use keys or certificates to authenticate users.
• YubiKey supports various security protocols, such as OTP (One-Time Password), FIDO U2F (Universal 2nd Factor), FIDO2, OpenPGP, PIV (Personal Identity Verification) and others. This allows you to use it for a variety of purposes, including logging in, signing electronic documents, encrypting emails, and more.
• The module has built-in security measures, such as protection against physical tampering, protection against information reading, and protection against software modification attacks. It can also be protected by a password or PIN code to add an extra layer of security.
