Each rewritten description now states both what the skill does (concrete capability, named tools/artifacts) and an explicit when-to-use trigger, improving agent discovery/activation. Grounded in each skill's own body; changes confined to the `description` field only (bodies and all other frontmatter untouched). Produced by a gated audit->rewrite->recheck loop (548 -> 0 flagged) with a sampled anti-invention check (0 ungrounded). Schema: 817/817 pass. Framework-ID gate: 0 defects.

Performing Hardware Security Module Integration
Overview
Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) provide tamper-resistant cryptographic key storage and operations. This skill covers integrating with HSMs via the PKCS#11 standard interface using python-pkcs11, performing key generation, signing, encryption, and verification operations, querying token and slot information, and validating HSM configuration for compliance with FIPS 140-2/3 requirements.
When to Use
- When conducting security assessments that involve performing hardware security module integration
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing
Prerequisites
- HSM device or software HSM (SoftHSM2 for testing)
- PKCS#11 shared library (.so/.dll) for the HSM vendor
- Python 3.9+ with
python-pkcs11 - Token initialized with SO PIN and user PIN
- For AWS CloudHSM:
cloudhsm-pkcs11provider configured
Steps
- Load PKCS#11 library and enumerate available slots and tokens
- Open session and authenticate with user PIN
- Generate RSA 2048-bit or EC P-256 key pairs on the HSM
- Perform signing and verification using on-device keys
- List all objects (keys, certificates) stored on the token
- Query mechanism list to verify supported algorithms
- Generate compliance report with key inventory and algorithm audit
Expected Output
- JSON report listing HSM slots, tokens, stored keys, supported mechanisms, and compliance status
- Signing test results with key metadata and algorithm details
