Major keys are the highest-level keys in a 

 HSM environment. These symmetric keys, stored locally on the HSM, encrypt working keys and critical security parameters. Major keys encrypt all other keys beneath them (with the notable exception of Key Exchange Keys).

 wraps all keys stored on the HSM used with PKCS #11. If using multiple HSMs in a cluster, you can use the same FTK for syncing HSMs. An HSM must have an FTK before you can use it with PKCS #11. 

 is the primary major key used in general-purpose environments or those using AES cryptographic algorithms. It wraps all users and subordinate keys on the server. The PMK is typically a 256-bit AES key that encrypts system parameters, including SMTP passwords and SFTP credentials. The key is the default for creating or importing keys or certificates and is the major key for asymmetric key generation.
