Thank you for taking notes. I am still keen on contributing and the
notes are greatly helpful!


I think it might be useful to take the Ethernet/USB/PCI and
"something like TLS-lite" discussions to the tech@ list.

I question "rationale for moving from USB to Ethernet":

> need more bandwidth

I have a 3.2 Gbps bandwidth 50 EUR USB 3 board on my desk, 32b x 100 MHz,
with an FTDI chip that doesn't suck. Software for this is on my list.

> USB out of HSM is not reliable

What does that mean? USB is arguably *more reliable* than Ethernet.
To "server context"; if there's room in the rack for a 1U then why does
the particular cable matter? What are the concerns?


I support FT that PCI Express should not be ruled out as "too fast";
the Alpha design already has many signal integrity requirements.


It would be great to know what the breakdown of "2 signatures/second" is.
How long is spent where? Finer grained profiling is better.

I was able to run the proprietary software, but seem to have
needed a "personalized link" to join the cloud meeting. :\
