Hardware security modules (HSMs) play an instrumental role in implementing a cryptographic solution that remains secure in the age of quantum computing. This is true regardless of whether symmetric or novel post-quantum crypto (PQC) algorithms are used. Here are some criteria you may want to take into account when evaluating HSMs for your system. An SDK is a must-have Solutions relying on symmetric cryptography for authentication are typically based on custom functions such as A3() and A8() in the GSM example or on custom routines to implement Kerberos-like protocols. The code needs to be executed inside the HSM, as secret keys must not be exported. The HSM needs to come with an easy-to-use software development kit (SDK). The SDK should allow for designing and implementing arbitrary commands. Putting the developer in a straitjacket — for instance, by trying to force-fit
