Inertial Hardware Security Modules do not only support much larger payloads compared to conventional HSMs, they also
|
||||
support much higher power dissipation since they allow for direct air cooling of their payload. Because they rotate at
|
||||
high speed, IHSM meshes do not need to be contiguous to provide adequate security. While a non-contiuous rotating mesh
|
||||
might theoretically allow a stationary attack tool to quickly penetrate, then retract through one of the mesh's gaps
|
||||
while the mesh is rotating, the time available for such an attack would be too short for a practical attack. For a mesh
|
||||
with three vertical connecting segments (cf.\ Figure~\ref{fig_proto_mesh} in Chapter~\ref{chapter-ihsm}) rotating at
|
||||
\qty{1000}{\rpm}, this time would be in the order of \qty{20}{\milli\second}. Conventional HSM monitoring circuits often
|
||||
require a similar amount of time to react to an attack~\cite{obermaier2018}.
|
||||
support much higher power dissipation since they allow for direct air cooling of their payload. The tamper-sensing
|
||||
membrane of a conventional HSM must be continuous to provide security, so any heat dissipated by the payload must pass
|
||||
through it. Since the polymers used in tamper sensing membranes are poor conductors of heat, and since security benefits
|
||||
from a thicker tamper sensing assembly (cf.\ Chapter~\ref{chapter-survey}), power dissipation in conventional HSMs is
|
||||
limited~\cite{

Similar to how the increase in payload \emph{size} unlocks new applications such as the Quantum Key Distribution relay
|
||||
use case we presented in Chapter~\ref{chapter-qkd}, this increase in sustainable power dissipation by a factor of
|
||||
several hundred also unlocks a number of new applications. Especially applications that require large amounts of
|
||||
computing power benefit from IHSM technology, as their needs fundamentally cannot be met by conventional HSMs.

|
||||
|
||||
One such application that does not translate to conventional HSMs due to its need for large amounts of computing power
|
||||
is Multiparty Computation (MPC). MPC is a cryptographic construct that allows several networked parties to jointly
