    Description

      Within domain management there are occasions where passwords need to be stored or keystores accessed either for encryption / decryption of password or to load the keys used for SSL exchanges.

      Commonly a password within code is used for password based encryption of other passwords, this obfuscates the password but does not over complicate the process of recovering the password, alternatively a local keystore can be used for the encryption but again everything is available on the local disk to recover the password.

      PKCS#11 will allow the cryptographic to be delegated to hardware which contains it's own protection against keys being made available.
