- ➤Initial technical specification draft targeted for October 2026 OCP Summit
Expert Statements
Cary Ussery, Senior vice president and general manager, Multimarket Business Group, Marvell
“An integrated HSM will allow cryptographic key operations to execute where the workload runs, satisfying both regulatory compliance and zero-trust architecture requirements, all without compromising higher performance for security”
Mark Russinovich, CTO, deputy CISO and technical fellow, Microsoft Azure
“As AI transforms cybersecurity and quantum technology reshapes cryptography, protecting the keys and credentials at the heart of our digital infrastructure has never been more important”
Mark Russinovich, CTO, deputy CISO and technical fellow, Microsoft Azure
“Through the Open Compute Project, industry leaders are coming together around a fully open-source integrated HSM, combining our collective innovation to advance interoperability, accelerate the adoption of post-quantum cryptography, and shape the future of hardware security”
Pradeep Vincent, Executive vice president, Compute and AI Infrastructure, Oracle
“An open specification for integrated Hardware Security Module (HSM) capabilities is an important step toward enabling cryptographic operations where data is processed, protecting keys within a hardware security boundary and supporting cryptographic verification of workload integrity”
Pradeep Vincent, Executive vice president, Compute and AI Infrastructure, Oracle
“This effort aims to establish a common foundation for adoption across the industry”
Marvell, Microsoft and Oracle Establish OCP Working Group to Standardize Data Center Hardware Security
