New Features and Enhancements
Luna HSM firmware 7.4.0 includes the following new features and enhancements:
Functionality Modules
Luna HSM Firmware 7.4.0 introduces Functionality Modules (FMs). FMs consist of your own custom-developed code, loaded and operating within the logical and physical security of a Luna Network HSM 7 as part of the HSM firmware. FMs allow you to customize your Luna Network HSM 7's functionality to suit the needs of your organization. Custom functionality provided by your own FMs can include:
>new cryptographic algorithms, including Quantum algorithms
>security-sensitive code, isolated from the rest of the HSM environment
>keys and critical parameters managed by the FM, independent from standard PKCS#11 objects, held in tamper-protected persistent storage
To create FMs, you will need the Functionality Module Software Development Kit (SDK), which is included with the Luna HSM Client 7.4.0 software. Applications that use FM functions are supported on Windows and Linux.
CAUTION! Enabling FMs (HSM policy 50) introduces changes to Luna HSM functionality, some of which are permanent; they cannot be removed by disabling the policy. FM-enabled status is not reversible by Factory Reset. Refer to FM Deployment Constraints for details before enabling.
See About the FM SDK Programming Guide and Functionality Modules for details and procedures.
