Overview
This guide outlines the recommended hardware and software environments for deploying Virifi’s Solution Proposal. These specs ensure optimal performance, security, and compliance during implementation, demo, and live operation phases.
Minimum System Requirements
Component | Specification |
CPU | Dual-core, 2.0 GHz or higher |
RAM | 4 GB |
Disk | 50 GB SSD |
OS | Ubuntu 20.04+ / Windows Server 2019+ / macOS 12+ |
Network | Stable internet connection (2 Mbps or higher) |
Runtime | Java 11+, .NET 6.0+, Docker Engine (optional) |
Security Modules | SoftHSM or simulated HSM configuration |
Suitable for demo environments, SDK testing, and API exploration.
Recommended Production Environment
Component | Specification |
CPU | Quad-core, 2.4 GHz or higher |
RAM | 8–16 GB |
Disk | 100 GB SSD/NVMe |
OS | Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS / Windows Server 2022 |
Network | Secure, redundant connectivity with firewall/NAT traversal |
HSM | Cloud HSM (e.g., Securosys), On-Prem HSM (iShield, YubiHSM) |
Other | Hardware-backed secure storage, audit logging, TLS termination |
Developer/Integration Workstation
For integration engineers and testers:
OS: Windows 11 / Ubuntu 22.04 / macOS Ventura
Tools: XCA, OpenSC, YubiKey Manager, Postman, Docker Desktop
Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari (for Web SDK tests)
Hardware: Optional FIDO2 device (YubiKey 5 FIPS), test token or smartcard
Security Considerations
All HSM and signature operations should be executed:
On machines with secure boot and disk encryption
With admin rights limited to system maintainers
Within isolated containers or VMs in cloud deployments
Optional Tooling
Docker Compose for local signature microservice orchestration
Elastic Stack or Splunk for log visualization
SonarQube (for code quality review if self-hosting components)
HashiCorp Vault or Azure Key Vault (for key wrapping/testing)
