Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The STS Secure for Windows CE is a FIPS 140-2 Level 1 software module, comprised of the Security Manager Application Service (SMA) & AES NDIS Filter Driver, that runs on a general purpose computer. It is the basis for Inter-4's Tactinet networking technology. The primary purpose for the STS Secure software module is to provide data security for all network wireless/wired traffic. In addition to data in transit (DIT), file based encryption protects files tranferred to/from the platform via external USB drives, and sensitive data at rest (DAR) stored internally is also encrypted and zeroizable.
