+# Cryptech Hardware
+
+## Generation 1
+
+Various generic FPGA development boards.
+
+## Generation 2
+
+//[Novena]({filename}CoretestHashesNovena.md)//
+
+## Generation 3
+
+An Alpha version of a CrypTech HSM, currently in early design

+
+There is no real tamper wrapping and no tamper sensors. The tamper switch is used to simulate tamper detection to test the system's tamper reaction(s).
+
+For the ARM, we think we want
+
+* No or minimal magic blobs because it's inside the security boundary
+* Support for booting, flash file system, and USB
+* Do not need memory protection or allocation, threads, video or sound or ...
+* Some speed, but the crypto is done in the FPGA
+* All components must be free of any GPL-like virus or restrictions
