Security
Resource Managers
The
Security Resource Managers (SRMs) are optional
software products for IBM MVS, Tandem Guardian,
and UNIX® systems. The SRMs allow multiple
applications to use a single Application
Programming Interface (API) to access the
cryptographic resource provided by a set of
HSMs. The SRM allows different HSM models to be
used transparently to customer applications.
