Abstract
Systems and methods for scalably provisioning cryptographic devices in a distributed computing environment are described. In some embodiments, a cryptographic interface controller capable of generating a plurality of hardware-emulated cryptographic devices in response to requests is implemented. In some embodiments, a cryptographic interface controller may present hardware-emulated cryptographic devices to computing entities, such as standalone computer systems or virtual computing systems, as standard cryptographic devices, such as through a Universal Serial Bus interface.
