BYOK preparation tools for Microsoft Azure Key Vault
This toolset accompanies the Microsoft Azure Key Vault service. Learn more about Microsoft Azure Key Vault service.
Azure subscribers can upload keys from an HSM (Hardware Security Module) that they own to HSMs in the Azure Key Vault service. This toolset is designed so that your key is always protected by HSMs, even during transport. This feature is called "bring your own key", or BYOK. The toolset on this page prepares your key for BYOK.
The Azure Key Vault service is cryptographically isolated in each Azure geography (North America, Europe, Asia, Japan, Brazil, Australia). You upload your keys to a specific Azure region in a specific geography.
