Autonomous sensor networks monitoring environmental parameters to detect non-invasive and semi-invasive laboratory attack vectors.
Adversaries frequently use industrial X-ray tomography to non-destructively map internal PCB traces and locate zeroization wires. HSMProtect integrates radiation-sensitive semiconductor elements that trigger immediate key destruction upon detecting X-ray inspection doses.
Even when disconnected from rack power and sitting in shipping transit, the ultra-low-power environmental controller draws less than 1.5 microamps from internal dual lithium thionyl chloride cells, maintaining 24/7 physical surveillance for over 10 years.
