Banking HSM Tamper-Response & Key Zeroization Lab (2D)

Interactive 2D schematic of a banking Hardware Security Module's tamper-response mesh: a live comparator strip chart, a bypass-ceiling curve, and a mesh cutaway you drag to inspect — race a zeroization clock to destroy signing keys before a simulated physical breach completes.

Core-banking and SWIFT transaction-signing keys live inside Hardware Security Modules that never expose them to software — the last line of defense is physical: a tamper-respondent mesh of conductive traces cast around the key store, wired to a comparator that trips on any resistance change and triggers immediate key zeroization. This 2D lab renders that mesh as a draggable cutaway diagram around a glowing key vault, plots the comparator's live ΔV against your chosen threshold on a scrolling strip chart, and graphs the shim-bypass ceiling curve itself so you can see exactly where your threshold sits relative to what trace density can hide. Tune the mesh's trace density and the HSM's comparator threshold and zeroization clock speed against a controllable drilling attack, and watch attempts resolve into a safely zeroized key or a compromised one.
