cryptographic acceleration
About this tag
Cryptographic acceleration refers to hardware or software techniques that speed up cryptographic operations such as encryption, decryption, signing, and key management. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover enterprise-grade solutions like Azure Cloud HSM, which uses Marvell LiquidSecurity PCIe hardware security modules (HSMs) to provide FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified cryptographic acceleration for Azure Key Vault and Managed HSM services. These HSMs offload cryptographic processing from the main CPU, improving performance and security for cloud workloads. Topics also include how cryptographic acceleration benefits Windows Server environments, Azure infrastructure, and compliance-driven deployments requiring dedicated hardware for key protection and high-throughput crypto operations.
Microsoft has selected Marvell’s LiquidSecurity family of hardware security modules (HSMs) to power its Azure Cloud HSM offering — a move that consolidates Marvell’s role across Azure’s key management portfolio and brings FIPS 140‑3 Level 3‑certified, high‑density PCIe HSMs into Microsoft’s...
