License handling: AGPL sources (worldosint, advanced_evolution, mercury,

Safety: shhbruh escape/persistence material and C3 covert-C2 kept as reference

# Performing Hardware Security Module Integration
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) provide tamper-resistant cryptographic key storage and operations. This skill covers integrating with HSMs via the PKCS#11 standard interface using python-pkcs11, performing key generation, signing, encryption, and verification operations, querying token and slot information, and validating HSM configuration for compliance with FIPS 140-2/3 requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- When conducting security assessments that involve performing hardware security module integration
|
|
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
|
|
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
|
|
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- HSM device or software HSM (SoftHSM2 for testing)
|
|
- PKCS#11 shared library (.so/.dll) for the HSM vendor
|
|
- Python 3.9+ with `python-pkcs11`
|
|
- Token initialized with SO PIN and user PIN
|
|
- For AWS CloudHSM: `cloudhsm-pkcs11` provider configured
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Load PKCS#11 library and enumerate available slots and tokens
|
|
2. Open session and authenticate with user PIN
|
|
3. Generate RSA 2048-bit or EC P-256 key pairs on the HSM
|
|
4. Perform signing and verification using on-device keys
|
|
5. List all objects (keys, certificates) stored on the token
|
|
6. Query mechanism list to verify supported algorithms
|
|
7. Generate compliance report with key inventory and algorithm audit
|
|
|
|
## Expected Output
|
|
|
|
- JSON report listing HSM slots, tokens, stored keys, supported mechanisms, and compliance status
|
|
- Signing test results with key metadata and algorithm details
