I would suggest that this page be renamed HOST security module as this is the correct term. Hardware Security Module should redirect to HOST security module. It is a common error to call them hardware. In reality the terms are fairly interchangeable.

Thales (who make HSMs) refer to them as HOST security modules - see http://www.thales-esecurity.com/productsservices/Documents/11653-HSM8000-v2.pdf - however on another page on the Thales web site they also refer to them as Hardware security modules!!
