Where is the aws.greengrass.crypto.ParsecProvider.jar for Greengrass?

Question

The github (https://github.com/awslabs/aws-greengrass-labs-parsec-provider) Readme has instructions for how to setup Parsec with AWS Greengrass. However, the final instructions have to do with installing the Parsec Provider jar file. The URL is not specified and there is a TODO in the README.

> Download the Parsec Provider component. This is a single Java JAR file called aws.greengrass.crypto.ParsecProvider.jar. You can download the latest version from TODO - URL. You should copy this file into the same folder where you placed the installer in the step above.

I have not been able to find the file by searching.

Thanks.

I don't see any information about a "aws.greengrass.crypto.ParsecProvider.jar" file in the AWS documentation. The documentation only mentions the PKCS#11 provider component, which is available as a JAR file that can be downloaded from: https://d2s8p88vqu9w66.cloudfront.net/releases/Pkcs11Provider/aws.greengrass.crypto.Pkcs11Provider-latest.jar.

This PKCS#11 provider component (aws.greengrass.crypto.Pkcs11Provider) enables AWS IoT Greengrass Core software to use a hardware security module (HSM) through the PKCS#11 interface for securely storing certificate and private key files.

The Parsec Provider you're referring to appears to be from AWS Labs GitHub repository, which may be an experimental or community-contributed component that is not yet officially documented or released. The "TODO - URL" in the README suggests that the download location for this component hasn't been finalized or published yet.

If you need to use hardware security with AWS IoT Greengrass, the officially supported method is to use the PKCS#11 provider component mentioned in the documentation.
