View Aws Hardware Security Module Images. A hardware security module (hsm) is a physical computing device that safeguards and manages digital keys, performs encryption and decryption functions for digital signatures, strong authentication and other cryptographic functions. Just set up two ec2 ubuntu 16.04 t2.medium instances, each with standard nginx from the ubuntu repository.
