Trusted PQC HSM / QSCD Integration
Available

Design and integrate protected key custody for CA, TSA, remote signing, code signing and enterprise services.

CUSTOMER PROBLEM

Design and integrate protected key custody for CA, TSA, remote signing, code signing and enterprise services.

CA, TSA, remote signing and code-signing keys need high-assurance custody, quorum, recovery and operational evidence—not only an algorithm library.

PRODUCT-SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION FLOW

How Trusted PQC HSM / QSCD Integration operates from input to evidence.

HSM, QSCD, SAM, PKCS#11, remote-signing services and approved operational procedures. Architecture, ceremony records, configuration baseline, recovery tests and operational runbooks.

HSM/QSCD/SAM architecture and integration

02

Design security and tenancy domains

M-of-N, dual control and key ceremony

03

Provision keys under ceremony

PKCS#11 and remote-signing interfaces

04

Expose approved service interfaces

HA/DR, backup and recovery testing

05

Operate HA, backup and monitoring

Tenant and service-key separation

06

Rehearse recovery and destruction

Audit, monitoring and operational runbooks

NAMED COMPONENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

What Trusted PQC HSM / QSCD Integration contains and what each component does.

The descriptions below state concrete technical behaviour rather than generic support language.

01

HSM/QSCD/SAM architecture and integration

Defines HSM, QSCD and SAM roles for CA, TSA, remote signing, code signing and application keys without collapsing different assurance targets into one boundary.

02

M-of-N, dual control and key ceremony

Implements M-of-N authorization, dual control, witnessed key ceremonies and separation of duties for creation, activation, backup and destruction.

03

PKCS#11 and remote-signing interfaces

Publishes only the PKCS#11, remote-signing or vendor interfaces required by each service and disables unused mechanisms and administrative paths.

04

HA/DR, backup and recovery testing

Designs clustering, backup, restore and disaster recovery around key non-exportability, quorum requirements and documented recovery-time objectives.

05

Tenant and service-key separation

Separates tenants, services and key purposes using partitions, labels, policy objects and role assignments that can be independently audited.

06

Audit, monitoring and operational runbooks

Provides monitored operational procedures for alarms, capacity, firmware change, backup verification, incident response and evidence retention.

CUSTOMER OUTCOMES
  • High-assurance key custody
  • Quorum and ceremony controls
  • HA/DR and lifecycle architecture
INTEGRATION BOUNDARY

HSM, QSCD, SAM, PKCS#11, remote-signing services and approved operational procedures.

DEPLOYMENT PATTERNS

Customer security boundary

HSM, QSCD, token or KMS components remain in the customer-controlled environment with documented ceremonies.

Dedicated high-availability service

Protected key services run across approved HA/DR nodes with tested quorum, backup and recovery.

Integrated managed operation

Operational responsibility is divided explicitly across customer, Mobile-ID and hardware/technology partners.

EVIDENCE REQUIRED
  • Architecture, ceremony records, configuration baseline, recovery tests and operational runbooks.
  • Version and configuration manifest for: HSM, QSCD, SAM, PKCS#11, remote-signing services and approved operational procedures.
  • Negative, failure and recovery tests for “Operate HA, backup and monitoring” and “Rehearse recovery and destruction”.
  • Signed acceptance record, accountable owner, published limitations and next review date.
STANDARDS & PROFILES
  • FIPS 140-3 / Common Criteria as applicable
  • ETSI QSCD concepts
  • PKCS#11
