just to add some possibly interesting grist to your mill, rick lamb recentl=
y has done some excellent engineering work
in making a cheap HSM for DNSSEC signing described incompletely in =


TPM, The Poor Man's HSM =96 Richard Lamb, ICANN

the device could comply with fips 140 level 4, if only anyone were willing =
to pay the $200k in certification
costs for a device that costs $50 in parts cost to make...

rick needs a low volume low cost engineering channel. (i suggested lady ada=
, for example, but i=92m not sure =

it can fit in an altoids box.)  maybe this would be a good kickstarter proj=
ect?

(i=92m cc-ing him on this also as i don=92t know about status more recent t=
han 4 months ago and there may be
a more complete description of the device available at this point=85)
