"IBM Research has demonstrated Linux running on the IBM 4758 secure
cryptographic coprocessor, a hardware security module. This is the first
general purpose operating system (OS) running on a secure
coprocessor. The IBM 4758 cryptographic coprocessor is an
advanced, tamper-sensing and responding, programmable PCI card. Its
specialized cryptographic electronics, along with a microprocessor,
memory and random number generator are housed within a
tamper-responding environment to provide a highly secure subsystem
in which data processing and cryptography can be performed."
