Apache Tomcat is a widely used open-source web server and servlet container that is a reliable platform for running Java-based web applications. Known for its speed, reliability, and ease of use, Apache Tomcat is frequently employed in various web environments.

Key features

This integration has the following features:

  • Java-based: Apache Tomcat executes Java servlets and renders web pages that include Java Server Page coding, making it an ideal platform for Java developers.
  • Performance: With features like asynchronous processing and non-blocking I/O, Tomcat is engineered for high-performance environments.
  • Modular architecture: The Tomcat architecture is highly modular, enabling extensibility and customization. You can add or remove components as needed.
  • Security: Tomcat provides a host of security features, including SSL/TLS support, authentication, and access control to ensure the security of web applications.
  • Lightweight: Compared to other enterprise-level web servers, Tomcat is relatively lightweight, which makes it easier to deploy and manage.
  • Community support: Being open source, Tomcat enjoys strong community support that provides a wealth of plugins, tools, and documentation.

Benefits of integration through PKCS #11

Integrating with provides the following benefits:

  • Secure key management: Integrating HSMs enables secure storage and management of SSL/TLS certificates and keys, which are crucial for encrypted communications in web applications.
  • High availability: provides an additional layer of robustness and reliability by safeguarding cryptographic keys even during system failures.
  • Regulatory compliance: Using with Apache Tomcat helps you comply with stringent data protection and cybersecurity regulations.
  • Improved performance: We optimize our HSMs for cryptographic operations, enhancing the overall performance of SSL/TLS handshakes and data encryption/decryption processes.
  • Simplified administration: provides centralized management for cryptographic keys, which can simplify the overall administration of your web server environment.
