A big +1 to designing a open source system based on software instead of the massive overhead of an FPGA. A thorough security analysis of the difference between "a chip that only will do X" and "a box with an interface that will only do X" would go a long way. FWIW, I'm not saying that SoftHSM is the right design for an HSM-like box, but rather that if we design a system that can replace HSMs and can be built for $200, it will be deployed much more often. --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
