Abstract
Provided is a system, method and API that provides HSM customers with an ability to request different levels of service for any cryptographic workload. It provides the customer with an API that by way of a Class of Service (CoS) attribute signals a higher class/level of service at the application level, such as a faster response time, for example, certain time-sensitive or high priority requests, that are not currently available in HSM deployments. The CoS attribute resides at the application level and provides developers of crypto API client application to prioritize crypto transaction performance.
