Explanation:
HSM is a more secure alternative to the Oraclewallet. TDE can use HSM to provide enhanced
security for sensitive data. An HSM is used tostore the master encryption key used for TDE. The
key is secure from unauthorizedaccess attempts as the HSM is a physical device and not an
operating system file. Allencryption and decryption operations that use the master encryption key
areperformed inside the HSM. This means that the master encryption key is neverexposed in
insecure memory.
