### Requirements
- An Infisical instance with a version number that is equal to or greater than `v0.91.0`.
- If you are using Docker, your instance must be using the `infisical/infisical-fips` image.
- An HSM device from a provider such as [Thales Luna HSM](https://cpl.thalesgroup.com/encryption/data-protection-on-demand/services/luna-cloud-hsm), [AWS CloudHSM](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudhsm/), or others.

<Step title="Setting up an HSM Device">
To set up HSM encryption, you need to configure an HSM provider and HSM key. The HSM provider is used to connect to the HSM device, and the HSM key is used to encrypt Infisical's KMS keys. We recommend using a Cloud HSM provider such as [Thales Luna HSM](https://cpl.thalesgroup.com/encryption/data-protection-on-demand/services/luna-cloud-hsm) or [AWS CloudHSM](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudhsm/).

You need to follow the instructions provided by the HSM provider to set up the HSM device. Once the HSM device is set up, the HSM device can be used within Infisical.
After setting up the HSM from your provider, you will have a set of files that you can use to access the HSM. These files need to be present on the machine where Infisical is running.
If you are using containers, you will need to mount the folder where these files are stored as a volume in the container.
The setup process for an HSM device varies depending on the provider. We have created a guide for Thales Luna Cloud HSM, which you can find below.

<Steps>
<Step title="Set up Fortanix HSM">
To use Fortanix HSM with Infisical, you need to:
1. Create an App in Fortanix:
- Set Interface value to be PKCS#11
- Select API key as authentication method
- Assign app to a group
![Fortanix HSM Setup](/images/platform/kms/hsm/fortanix-hsm-setup.png)
2. Take note of the domain (e.g., apac.smartkey.io). You will need this to set up the configuration file for the Fortanix client.
</Step>
<Step title="Install PKCS11 Library">
The easiest approach would be to download the `.so` file for Linux directly from the [Fortanix PKCS#11 installation page](https://fortanix.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/4408769080724-PKCS-11).
Create a configuration file named `pkcs11.conf` with the following content:
```
api_endpoint = "https://apac.smartkey.io"
prevent_duplicate_opaque_objects = true
retry_timeout_millis = 60000
```
Note: Replace `apac.smartkey.io` with your actual Fortanix domain if different. For more details about the configuration file format and additional options, refer to the [Fortanix PKCS#11 Configuration File Documentation](https://support.fortanix.com/docs/clients-pkcs11-library#511-configuration-file-format).
</Step>
<Step title="Create a directory for Fortanix files">
Create a directory to store the Fortanix library and configuration file:
```bash
mkdir -p /etc/fortanix-hsm
```
Copy the downloaded `.so` file and the `pkcs11.conf` file to this directory:
```bash
cp /path/to/fortanix_pkcs11_4.37.2554.so /etc/fortanix-hsm/
cp /path/to/pkcs11.conf /etc/fortanix-hsm/
```
</Step>
<Step title="Run Docker">
Run Docker with Fortanix HSM by mounting the directory and setting the required environment variables:
```bash
docker run -p 80:8080 \
-v /etc/fortanix-hsm:/etc/fortanix-hsm \
-e HSM_LIB_PATH="/etc/fortanix-hsm/fortanix_pkcs11_4.37.2554.so" \ # Path to the PKCS#11 library
-e HSM_PIN="MDE3YWUxO..." \ # Your Fortanix app API key used for authentication
-e HSM_SLOT=0 \ # Slot value (arbitrary for Fortanix HSM)
-e HSM_KEY_LABEL="hsm-key-label" \ # Label to identify the encryption key in the HSM
-e FORTANIX_PKCS11_CONFIG_PATH="/etc/fortanix-hsm/pkcs11.conf" \ # Path to Fortanix configuration file
# The rest are unrelated to HSM setup...
-e ENCRYPTION_KEY="<>" \
-e AUTH_SECRET="<>" \
-e DB_CONNECTION_URI="<>" \
-e REDIS_URL="<>" \
-e SITE_URL="<>" \

<Steps>
<Step title="Set up Fortanix HSM">
First, you need to set up Fortanix HSM by:
1. Creating an App in Fortanix:
- Set Interface value to be PKCS#11
- Select API key as authentication method
- Assign app to a group
![Fortanix HSM Setup](/images/platform/kms/hsm/fortanix-hsm-setup.png)
2. Take note of the domain (e.g., apac.smartkey.io). You will need this when setting up the configuration file.
</Step>
<Step title="Create configuration files">
Create a directory to store the Fortanix configuration files:
```bash
mkdir -p /etc/fortanix-hsm
```
Download the Fortanix PKCS#11 library for Linux from the [Fortanix PKCS#11 installation page](https://fortanix.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/4408769080724-PKCS-11).
Create a configuration file named `pkcs11.conf` with the following content:
```
api_endpoint = "https://apac.smartkey.io"
prevent_duplicate_opaque_objects = true
retry_timeout_millis = 60000
```
Note: Replace `apac.smartkey.io` with your actual Fortanix domain if different.
</Step>
<Step title="Creating a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC)">
Create a Persistent Volume Claim to store the Fortanix files:
```bash
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: fortanix-hsm-pvc
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 100Mi
EOF
```
Create a temporary pod to upload the files:
```bash
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: fortanix-setup-pod
spec:
containers:
- name: setup
image: busybox
command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "sleep 3600"]
volumeMounts:
- name: fortanix-data
mountPath: /data
volumes:
- name: fortanix-data
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: fortanix-hsm-pvc
EOF
```
Ensure the pod is running:
```bash
kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pod/fortanix-setup-pod --timeout=60s
```
Copy the Fortanix files to the PVC:
```bash
kubectl exec fortanix-setup-pod -- mkdir -p /data/
kubectl cp /etc/fortanix-hsm/fortanix_pkcs11_4.37.2554.so fortanix-setup-pod:/data/
kubectl cp /etc/fortanix-hsm/pkcs11.conf fortanix-setup-pod:/data/
kubectl exec fortanix-setup-pod -- chmod -R 755 /data/
```
Delete the temporary pod:
```bash
kubectl delete pod fortanix-setup-pod
```
</Step>
<Step title="Update the Kubernetes Secret">
Update your Kubernetes secret with the Fortanix HSM environment variables:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: infisical-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
# ... Other environment variables ...
HSM_LIB_PATH: "/etc/fortanix-hsm/fortanix_pkcs11_4.37.2554.so" # Path to the PKCS#11 library in the container
HSM_PIN: "<your-fortanix-api-key>" # Your Fortanix app API key used for authentication
HSM_SLOT: "0" # Slot value (can be set to 0 for Fortanix HSM as it's arbitrary)
HSM_KEY_LABEL: "hsm-key-label" # Label to identify the encryption key in the HSM
FORTANIX_PKCS11_CONFIG_PATH: "/etc/fortanix-hsm/pkcs11.conf" # Path to Fortanix configuration file
```
Apply the updated secret:
```bash
kubectl apply -f ./secret-file-name.yaml
```
</Step>
<Step title="Update Helm Values">
Update your Helm values to use the FIPS-compliant image and mount the Fortanix HSM files:
```yaml
# ... The rest of the values.yaml file ...
image:
repository: infisical/infisical-fips # Must use "infisical/infisical-fips"
tag: "v0.117.1-postgres"
pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
extraVolumeMounts:
- name: fortanix-data
mountPath: /etc/fortanix-hsm # The path where Fortanix files will be available
extraVolumes:
- name: fortanix-data
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: fortanix-hsm-pvc
# ... The rest of the values.yaml file ...
```
<Warning>
Note: Fortanix HSM integration only works for AMD64 CPU architectures.
</Warning>
</Step>
<Step title="Upgrade and Restart">
Upgrade the Helm chart with the new values:
```bash
helm upgrade --install infisical infisical-helm-charts/infisical-standalone --values /path/to/values.yaml
```
Restart the deployment:
```bash
kubectl rollout restart deployment/infisical-infisical
```
</Step>
</Steps>
After following these steps, your Kubernetes setup will be ready to use Fortanix HSM encryption.
