The EC training for nShield HSMs (xc-Mid) was a good and thorough experience. I was able to clearly see and practice through the use and configuration of Security Worlds, HSM configurations using both command line and panel controls, deployment, the use and management of keys and cryptography, use and connectivity of an RFS server, creation and management of the ACS and OCS card sets, adding, enrolling and configuring clients.
