configuring-hsm-for-key-storage

configuring-hsm-for-key-storage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Njones17/AI-agent-master-cyber-skills-list. It costs 45 tokens per session (703 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to using a Hardware Security Module, a tamper-resistant device that stores cryptographic keys and performs encryption-related operations. The keys remain inside the protected device.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring secure key storage and cryptographic operations with an HSM.
Why use it?
It helps protect important keys from theft or exposure in application servers and other less trusted environments.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

configuring-hsm-for-key-storage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

configuring-hsm-for-key-storage is a skill published in the GitHub repository Njones17/AI-agent-master-cyber-skills-list (21 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 703 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
