Enabling cryptographic keys stored in hardware devices for Web Services Security

You can enable Web Services Security by using cryptographic hardware devices for both web service clients and web service providers that are running in the WebSphere® Application Server environment.

  • Enabling hardware cryptographic devices for Web Services Security

    You can enable Web Services Security by using cryptographic hardware devices for both web service clients and web service providers that are running in the WebSphere® Application Server environment. A cryptographic token is a hardware or software device with a built-in keystore implementation. Cryptographic devices are used to manage certificates stored on the cryptographic tokens. These devices are also called smartcards. You enable hardware cryptographic devices for Web Service Security by either using keys that are stored in hardware devices or by using keys stored in a Java keystore file.
