thales-hsm

This is a role to manage the client software for Entrust nShield Connect Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).

This repo uses the "Thales" name for historical reasons:

At the time when this repository was created nShield HSMs were owned by Thales. Since then, the nShield line of HSMs have gone through some ownership changes, including nCipher for some time, and currently Entrust.
