Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The 4758 secure coprocessor is a state-of-the-art, tamper-sensing and responding, programmable PCI card. Its specialized cryptographic electronics, along with a microprocessor, memory, and random number generator are housed within a tamper-responding environment to provide a highly secure subsystem in which data processing and cryptography can be performed.
