[Cryptech Tech] Disassembly, and production of HSMs

[Joachim Strömbergson]

Aloha!

(Sharing some HW pr0n this Friday.)

Was pointed to a very interesting paper that describes how IBM
manufactures FIPS Level 4, PCIe based HSMs. Quite a lot of resin and
glue required.

The paper nicely complements an older set of images that shows somebody
disassembling an older version of the IBM HSMs:
