Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Privatel™ Model 960v provides security for voice telephony applications. The Privatel™ product is an applique to an existing office telephone that provides voice coding, traffic encryption, key management, and modem functions. The module uses the strongest commercially-available cryptography, which provides end-to-end secure communications that protect telephone conversations from eavesdropping and unauthorized monitoring and recording, displaying a unique Key Fingerprint during every secure session.
