Hi Petr,

I’m separating the SoftHSMv2 into a new thread.

That should be handled by the backend code then, if it needs to cache locally 
etc. I think SoftHSMv2 has its backend abstracted so this should be possible 
but I am no expect in SoftHSMv2, that is mostly handled by Rickard and Francis. 
Maybe they can shed some light on this?

I understand that, your basically trying to make a network distributed HSM and 
we have seen big companies take their time to make it really work.
