Synchronize keys automatically from payment HSMs to AWS Payment Cryptography

Industries Blog



This article details how companies can synchronize keys from existing payment HSMs to AWS Payment Cryptography, a cloud-native service for managing payment cryptographic operations.

  • AWS Payment Cryptography helps companies migrate payment workloads to the cloud by offering:
  • Lowered total cost of ownership
  • API-based operations instead of complex socket commands
  • Faster time to market
  • Built-in compliance with PCI standards

The article provides detailed guidance for key synchronization using three electronic key exchange protocols:

  • TR34: Asymmetric key exchange for Key Encryption Keys
  • TR31: Symmetric key exchange for working keys
  • ECDH: Key derivation method for symmetric keys

Comprehensive migration scripts are provided for HSMs from Thales, Futurex, and Atalla, enabling secure and compliant key transfers to AWS Payment Cryptography.
