I'm reasonably confident that this is hardware dependant, after all that's what the "H" stands for.

Could be a great project for the OpenStack Security Group to look into too. -Rob From: Endre Karlson <endre.karlson at gmail.com<mailto:endre.karlson at gmail.com>> Reply-To: OpenStack List <openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org>> Date: Wednesday, 27 March 2013 16:56 To: OpenStack List <openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org>> Subject: [openstack-dev] CloudHSM Is there works to provide something similar that AWS just launched? http://cloudcomputing.sys-con.com/node/2595575 Endre.
