Subject: Crypto hardware
A couple of years ago at the RSA conference one of the vendors was
exhibiting a tamperproof that would keep a secret key and perform
encryptions/signatures using the key. Since the key never left the
box, in theory security reduced to physical security around the box.
The intended use of the box was as a master for a CA. I thought the
vendor was GTE, but I didn't find anything definitive on their site.
Does this description trigger any recollection? Are there similar
devices on the market from other sources?
