## Plugins
A plugin is an executable file named using the format `step-<name>-plugin`.
Plugins must be available in your `$PATH` or in the `$STEPPATH/plugins`
directory.
When you run `step <name>`, the CLI will automatically execute the corresponding
plugin if it exists.
Some known plugins include:
- [**step-kms-proxy**](https://github.com/smallstep/step-kms-plugin): Manage
keys and certificates stored in a KMS, including HSMs, TPMs, YubiKeys, the macOS
Keychain, and cloud KMSs.
- [**step-kmsproxy-plugin**](https://github.com/orbit-online/step-kmsproxy-plugin):
Provides an HSM/KMS-backed authenticating proxy for mTLS services. Thanks to
[@andsens](https://github.com/andsens) for creating and maintaining this plugin!
[`step-kms-proxy`] is also integrated directly into `step` to create
certificates, generate CSRs, sign tokens, and more using KMS-backed keys.
