With Linux security becoming a hot topic this white papers contains information, code examples, and strategies on securing Linux Servers for Service Providers. Furthermore this article covers PKCS #11 openCryptoki, an API that is rapidly becoming the non-Windows-platform industry standard for interfacing between cryptographic hardware and user space applications. Both are very well written and provide important and timely information on Linux security.
[Ed. note: the [read more] link goes to the openCryptokil article. The Securing Linux white paper link above is a pdf file.]
Cryptography is rapidly becoming a critical part of our daily lives. However, the application of cryptographic technology adds a heavy computational burden to today's server platforms. More systems are beginning to use specialized hardware to offload the computations, as well as to help ensure the security of secret key material. This article will discuss openCryptoki, an API that is rapidly becoming the de facto, non-Windows-platform industry standard for interfacing between cryptographic hardware and user space applications.
