About Parsec

Parsec is an open-source initiative designed to provide a unified API that abstracts hardware security and cryptographic services across diverse platforms. By decoupling workloads from the underlying physical platform details, Parsec enables seamless cloud-native delivery workflows both within data centers and at the edge. This abstraction facilitates consistent security operations regardless of the hardware environment, making it ideal for organizations managing complex, multi-tenant infrastructures.

Targeted primarily at enterprises with sophisticated security needs, Parsec offers a microservice-based security mediation layer that brokers access to hardware security modules and isolated key stores. Its client library ecosystem supports multiple programming languages, simplifying integration for developers and reducing implementation errors. As a Cloud Native Computing Foundation sandbox project with active contributions from industry leaders like Arm, Parsec fosters an open, collaborative environment to continuously enhance cryptographic security capabilities in cloud and edge computing contexts.
