HSM / HSM2: Offline firmware update possible?

Hi

Thanks for that clarification, although understandable, that means updating a NitroKey HSM requires it to be at some point be connected to the internet. I guess it’s one, if the only predictable and uniform way to deliver the updates.

Yes, some documentation would be highly appreciated in that area since even though I (now) know NitroKey HSM and SmartCard HSM are closely related, making the bridge between 2 distinctive brands an companies isn’t that obvious to me and likely others to.

I’ll try it with my burner HSM(1) which I used for tests before getting a HSM2 since I really want the 4096bit RSA capability of the HSM2.
