Azure Key Vault is ideal for enterprise applications because it provides robust security for storing and managing cryptographic keys, secrets, and certificates. It ensures data protection through hardware security modules (HSMs) and simplifies compliance with regulatory standards.
Integration with other Azure services enhances security management. Kaleido makes this integration seamless, allowing enterprises to effortlessly incorporate Azure Key Vault into their blockchain solutions, ensuring top-notch security and streamlined operations.
Azure Key Encryption uses hardware security modules (HSMs) to protect cryptographic keys, ensuring high-level data security.
Azure helps enterprises meet regulatory standards with built-in features for key management and access control.
Seamlessly integrates with other Azure services, providing a unified and secure infrastructure for enterprise applications.
Azure Key Vault provides hardware security modules (HSM) that are maintained in the Azure Cloud. This allows clients total control of their cryptographic materials in hardware and firmware without being exposed to any operators including Microsoft. Using an HSM based keys management provides the highest level of security.
Kaleido CloudHSM service supports using keys maintained by Azure Key Vault to sign transactions. The Kaleido service communicates with Azure Key Vault via HTTP over TLS to discover the list of signing accounts and sending it payload to sign. During the entire process the signing keys stay safe inside the customer's Azure Key Vault instance and are never shared with Kaleido.
Create one or more keys in the vault that can be used to sign Ethereum transactions
Create and configure a Kaleido CloudHSM signer service which has the ability to interact with the Key Vault in Azure to sign and send transactions to an Ethereum node in the Kaleido environment.
Azure Key Vault is backed by FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified HSMs keeping your keys secure. The first step is to provision a Key Vault in Azure and generate secp256k1 keys suitable for signing Ethereum transactions.
