Secure peripheral cards

[Sean Smith]

Well, there's always the IBM 4758, which we built as a general-purpose
secure computer environment for hostile environments, with the ability
for on-device applications to prove to the outside world what they are
and where they're running.

IBM's been marketing it primarily as a crypto accelerator, unfortunately.
The official product pages make it hard to distinguish the box from the
CCA application sw.
