Host Trust Link Client Authentication

This chapter provides an overview of host trust link (HTL) client authentication. Host trust links ensure that the HSM connects only to a trusted client instance that is in possession of a one-time-token generated by the HSM. HTL is designed to mitigate the risk associated with running the SafeNet Client in a VM, by preventing an clone of the VM from connecting to the HSM. HTL is an configuration option you can specify when creating an NTLS link between a client and a partition.
