The article "GÉANT trials Diamond Key Security HSM Technology" was written by GÉANT"s Product Marketing and Management Officer, Karl Meyer, and appears in the magazine's featured section which offers "glimpse of the newest technologies that make up the security and cryptography industry." Meyer writes, "The Diamond-HSM™ from DKS is the first ever open-source Hardware Security Module, and it is based on open technology from the CrypTech Project. The goal of CrypTech is to create an open source design for a hardware cryptographic engine for HSMs and an associated reference implementation that allows anyone to deploy and audit a secure, low-cost cryptographic engine in their environments."

Meyer's article also references that GÉANT has recently acquired prototype Diamond-HSM devices from Diamond Key and is beginning the research into their usage and applicability within the research and education environment.
