Explore cutting-edge developments in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) that enable automated certificate issuance and quantum-safe Public Key Infrastructure in this 24-minute conference presentation. Learn about hardware-supported attestation capabilities that allow Certificate Authorities to verify the location and disposition of subject keys, supporting critical policy enforcement for applications like code signing where keys must be generated and stored in specialized hardware. Discover how attestation concepts are evolving within the IETF RATS working group and understand the bridge being built to HSM implementations. Examine how HSM attestation functions enable secure audit capabilities, HSM state verification, key origin tracking, and other essential security features. Understand the critical importance of quantum-safe attestation for managing quantum-safe assets and the deployment challenges involving hardware roots of trust that must be implemented either at manufacturing time or through quantum-safe mechanisms. Gain insights into practical quantum-safe attestation implementation within PKI environments, secure deployment strategies, and the resulting improvements in automation and compliance that these advanced techniques provide.
