This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 68.0.124.33 (talk) at 22:59, 5 September 2008 ("secure cryptoprocessor" the same thing?). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

I think perhaps the Hardware Acceleration section is dated at this point. In some cases a modern host processor is now faster than the embedded system chip in the HSM. For instance, nCipher no longer makes claims of acceleration on much of its hardware line (a new-ish laptop can keep up with their '4000' systems in digest calculation, for instance)

Are "Hardware Security Module" and "secure cryptoprocessor" two names for the same thing, and so should be merged? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 22:59, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
