A hardware security module (HSM) is a physical computing device that safeguards and manages digital keys for strong authentication and provides cryptoprocessing. These modules traditionally come in the form of a plug-in card or an external device that attaches directly to a computer or network server.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol used in Wireless networks. It was designed to provide more secure encryption than the relatively weak Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and does not have a storage root key.
A hardware security module (HSM) is a physical computing device that safeguards and manages digital keys for strong authentication and provides cryptoprocessing.
By adding a HSM to the server and storing the private keys on HSM, the security of the keys would be improved. It is usually used in conjunction with PKI to enhance security with certification authorities (CAs). It is available as an expansion card and can cryptographic keys, passwords, or certificates.
Encrypting File System (EFS) is used to encrypt files or entire volumes in a Windows computer. It uses certificates to encrypt the data but do not have a storage root key.
Data loss prevention (DLP) is designed detect and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. It may involve content inspection, storage and transmission encryption, contextual assessment, monitoring
authorizations, and centralized management. It can make use of software-based cryptographic solutions, of hardware-based cryptographic solutions such as HSM.
After reading the explanation, you can tell B is the correct answer.

Interesting look at this question. An HSM is basically a thumbdrive that houses a crypto key to encrypt your hard drive. Okay, data encryption and key management. So what is the secure application launching. We don’t actually see too many cases of HSM anymore since most crypto keys are held in the TPM in the computer. But with the thumbdrive notion, there is an application that is launched to tell the computer that it has the key.

Although I was thinking of A, the correct answer has to be B after reading “Lake’s” explanation.
