## Using Azure Key Vault Managed HSM
153+
154+
**Hardware security modules (HSMs)** are hardened, tamper-resistant hardware devices that secure cryptographic processes by generating, protecting, and managing keys used for encrypting and decrypting data and creating digital signatures and certificates. HSMs are tested, validated and certified to the highest security standards including FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria. Azure Key Vault Managed HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a fully managed, highly available, single-tenant, standards-compliant cloud service that enables you to safeguard cryptographic keys for your cloud applications, using FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated HSMs.

You can pick Azure Key Vault Managed HSM as key store when creating new PostgreSQL Flexible Server in Azure Portal with Customer Managed Key (CMK) feature. The prerequisites in terms of user defined identity and permissions are same as with Azure Key Vault, as already listed [above](#requirements-for-configuring-data-encryption-for-azure-database-for-postgresql-flexible-server). More information on how to create Azure Key Vault Managed HSM and import keys to it is available [here](../../key-vault/managed-hsm/overview.md).
