Welcome To PARSEC

PARSEC is the Platform AbstRaction for SECurity, an open-source initiative to provide a common API to hardware security and cryptographic services in a platform-agnostic way. This abstraction layer keeps workloads decoupled from physical platform details, enabling cloud-native delivery flows within the data center and at the edge.

Parsec Concept Diagram

Read the whitepaper Security for the Infrastructure Edge.

Why PARSEC?

Use Parsec when you need:

  • A portable interface to your platform's Root of Trust in order to manage keys and perform cryptographic operations without knowledge of the hardware.
  • A simple and portable way to access the best available security of your platform in your preferred programming language.

What PARSEC Provides

The value proposition of Parsec is that it provides the following:

  • Abstraction – a common API that is truly agnostic and based on modern cryptographic principles
  • Mediation – security as a microservice, brokering access to the hardware and providing isolated key stores in a multi-tenant environment
  • Ergonomics – a client library ecosystem that brings the API to the fingertips of developers in any programming language: “easy to consume, hard to get wrong”
  • Openness – an open-source project inviting contributions to enhance the ecosystem both within the service and among its client libraries
