Zusammenfassung:A system and method for a hardware security module with enhanced security features is disclosed. The hardware security module includes a card configured to be inserted into a computer system and at least one encryption chip disposed on the card. A security cap is placed on and surrounds the cryptographic chip. The safety cap has a first half and a second half. A first half of the security cover is located on a first side of the card and a second half of the security cover is located on a second side of the card. To improve security, a flexible cable having at least one sensor or circuit configured to detect tampering with the hardware security module is embedded within the material of the security cover. 公开了一种用于具有增强的安全特征的硬件安全模块的系统和方法。所述硬件安全模块包括被配置为插入到计算机系统中的卡以及设置在所述卡上的至少一个加密芯片。安全盖放置在密码芯片上并且包围密码芯片。该安全盖具有第一半部和第二半部。安全盖的第一半部位于卡的第一侧上,并且安全盖的第二半部位于卡的第二侧上。为了提高安全性,具有被配置为检测对硬件安全模块的篡改的至少一个传感器或电路的柔性缆线被嵌入在安全盖的材料内。
