The PKCS#11 module supports round-robin schedule for a cluster of NetHSM instances. Multiple instances of NetHSM can be synchronized via encrypted backups. For this a separate system downloads and uploads backup files between the instances. This can be a scripted system utilizing pynitrokey. This separate system doesn't has access to the backup data in clear text because the backup files are encrypted. + NetHSM is stateless, so that several NetHSM devices can be used to enable extremely high throughput and high availability.

For this a separate system downloads and uploads backup files between the instances. This can be a scripted system utilizing pynitrokey. This separate system doesn't have access to the backup data in clear text because the backup files are encrypted. **Q:** Is NetHSM FIPS or Common Criteria certified? Not yet but we are aiming for certifications in the future. Please contact us if you are interested in supporting these efforts.
