Bypassing a PAL [atomic bomb ignition code lock] should be about as complex as performing a tonsillectomy while

entering the patient from the wrong end.

\chaptertitle{Hardware Security Modules in the Wild}
|
|
|
|
In this chapter we will take a look at how Hardware Security Modules are built and what they are used for. We will
|
|
analyze the gaps left by the current state of the industry, and evaluate how Inertial HSMs could close these gaps to
|
|
make secure hardware accessible to everyone. We will start with a brief history of secure hardware with a particular
|
|
focus on tamper-sensing meshes since the tamper-sensing mesh is the primary line of defense that delineates a hardware
|
|
security module from other, weaker secure hardware primitives such as Smart Cards or Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs).
