 leverage hardware-protected cryptographic keys.

 I actually do not know how general support for all HSM devices could be
 implemented trivially. For the TPM world, I believe the standard is to use
 `libtrousers`. However this would be a different set of ''major'' changes
 to tor to add such support, and so, if it were to be done, I think it
 warrants its own ticket (and discussion).
