Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
3eTI's 3e-636S-1 Accelerated Crypto Module provides AES and Triple-DES data encryption, SHS secure hashing, and HMAC keyed hashing at very high levels of sustained bandwidth. The 3e-636S-1 leverages built-in hardware-based cryptography to greatly accelerate device performance. The 3e-636S-1 is a robust, stand-alone inline encryptor which can straightforwardly be inserted into a network where FIPS 140-2 Validation is required. The 3e-636S-1 helps customers meet Federal Cryptography requirements at extremely high levels of performance, where traditional software-based algorithm implementation
