Selected Answer: B
An HSM is a dedicated hardware device that provides a secure environment for cryptographic operations and key management. It is designed to be tamper-resistant, physically hardened, and provides strong protection for sensitive cryptographic material and keys. HSMs are often used in environments where secure and reliable key management is essential, such as in banking, financial institutions, or other critical systems where data confidentiality and integrity are paramount.
