Some of you may actually know what an HSM is but I am pretty sure there are lots that do not.
So here is what is out there already and this is only one company. nCipher has products and IBM as an example uses an HSM as well.
HSM's versus TPM's for managing encryption keys and encrypted security. Could be interesting.
