- Enable hardware cryptographic devices for Web Services Security
We can enable Web Services Security using cryptographic hardware devices for both web service clients and web service providers running in the WebSphere Application Server environment. A cryptographic token is a hardware or software device with a built-in keystore implementation. Cryptographic devices are used to manage certificates stored on the cryptographic tokens. These devices are also called smartcards. You enable hardware cryptographic devices for Web Service Security by either using keys stored in hardware devices or using keys stored in a Java keystore file.
