cryptech is making an open design, not manufacturing hardware.  otoh, we
do have a prototype on the novena laptop, and are about to start an
alpha prototype of a small stand-alone board, likely with a usb and
pkcs#11.

as you can see from <https://trac.cryptech.is/wiki/Dashboard>, ecdsa
verilog has not started; rsa is first.  we do have a possible ecdsa
code donation, i believe.

no promises as to date(s).  maybe more in dallas, as we have a core team
meeting in stockholm in a week.
