+Hardware Signing with PKCS#11
+-----------------------------
+
+Securely managing private signing keys can challenging, especially when the
+keys are stored on the file system of a computer that is connected to the
+Internet. If an attacker is able to steal the key, they can sign malicious FIT
+images which will appear genuine to your devices.
+
+An alternative solution is to keep your signing key securely stored on hardware
+device like a smartcard, USB token or Hardware Security Module (HSM) and have
+them perform the signing. PKCS#11 is standard for interfacing with these crypto
+device.
+
+Requirements:
+Smartcard/USB token/HSM which can work with the pkcs11 engine
+openssl
+libp11 (provides pkcs11 engine)
+p11-kit (recommended to simplify setup)
+opensc (for smartcards and smartcard like USB devices)
+gnutls (recommended for key generation, p11tool)
+
+The following examples use the Nitrokey Pro. Instructions for other devices may vary.
+
+Notes on pkcs11 engine setup:
+
+Make sure p11-kit, opensc are installed and that p11-kit is setup to use opensc.
+/usr/share/p11-kit/modules/opensc.module should be present on your system.
