(It is rare that I get to create click-bait subject lines that are fully
accurate...)
At next weeks key ceremony, ICANN is also planning to physically destroy
two HSMs that have already been put out of commission. The earlier step
was to zeroize them using the HSM manufacturer's instructions, and this
next step can be thought of as "physically zerioizing" them before
removing them from the secure facility.
Some people on this list have a love/hate relationship with HSMs and
might enjoy watching the process of two of them being destroyed. The
information about the ceremony, including the proposed script for
destruction, are here:
