10 years old, but a good overall presentation by Atos Worldline about HSMs at the time.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2 (FIPS PUB 140-2) which documents the security requirements for cryptographic modules. This is a good information source for information about the standards for which HSMs are built.
