Arm has already announced crypto-processors, which I assume aren't very expensive. Every chip maker could use one as an HSM now. https://developer.arm.com/prod

- MaxBarraclough 8y agoSo the chip-maker would have their hardware protect the permanent secret key, and use ARM's coprocessor to do the cryptographic heavy-lifting? Sounds reasonable. Is that the first high-level crypto coprocessor then? I'm surprised it's taken this long.
