ManualCuration
The selection of cryptographic mechanisms is based on the need to protect the confidentiality of backup information. Hardware security module (HSM) devices safeguard and manage cryptographic keys and provide cryptographic processing. Cryptographic operations (e.g., encryption, decryption, and signature generation and verification) are typically hosted on the HSM device, and many implementations providthe sentence this term was read in
