Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The ACCE SP & SP2 provide highly-secure cryptographic services and key storage. They are used in a range of AEP Networks and OEM products along with an application (the single user of the module) to provide custom functionality. Example uses are the Europay NSP (ACCE SP) and Europay ESP (ACCE SP2) which were developed for Europay, a major European financial institution.
