Before you can use your AWS CloudHSM cluster for cryptoprocessing, you must create users and keys on the hardware security modules (HSM) in your cluster.
In AWS CloudHSM, use any of the following to manage keys on the HSMs in your cluster:
-
PKCS #11 library
-
JCE provider
-
CNG and KSP providers
-
CloudHSM CLI
Before you can manage keys, you must log in to the HSM with the user name and password of a crypto user (CU). Only a CU can create a key. The CU who creates a key owns and manages that key.
See the following topics for more information about managing keys in AWS CloudHSM.
