Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise Kubernetes platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and lifecycle management of containerized applications. It provides enhanced security features including container isolation, secure supply chain and cryptographic enforcement through its built-in trust policies.
For applications that require secure key storage and hardware-based cryptography, OpenShift can integrate with external Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) using PKCS#11. This enables workloads running in the cluster to securely access encryption keys stored inside the HSM for SSL/TLS operations and other cryptographic functions without exposing private keys in pods, configuration files, or images.
