This chapter provides an overview of host trust link (HTL) client authentication. Host trust links ensure that the HSM connects only to a trusted client instance that is in possession of a one-time-token generated by the HSM.

HTL is an configuration option you can specify when creating an NTLS link between a client and a partition.
