This document provides information about Java Keytool integration with our HSMs. For additional questions related to your HSM, see the relevant user guide or reach out to a Solutions Architect for help.

About Keytool integration

Keytool is a Java program that enables Java application developers to obtain and manage CA certificates for authentication and digital signing, along with the KeyStore of keys and certificate chains. The PKCS #11 library makes it easy to integrate Java Keytool with Futurex HSMs. For added hardware-backed security, Keytool supports integration with HSMs to manage the key life cycle in a FIPS-140 Level 3 cryptographic boundary.

Guardian integration

The Guardian Series 3 introduces mission-critical viability to core cryptographic infrastructure, including:
  • Centralization of device management
  • Elimination of points of failure
  • Distribution of transaction loads
  • Group-specific function blocking
  • User-defined grouping systems
See the applicable guide in the Futurex Portal for configuring HSMs with the Guardian Series 3, including PKCS #11 and CNG configuration.
