Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The SEL-3045 Secure SCADA Card provides strong cryptographic security to a variety of communications networks. It protects point-to-point, multi-drop, and many-to-many networks. The SEL-3045 secures all byte oriented serial protocols including popular SCADA or PCS protocols like DNP and MODBUS common to PLC, IED and RTU products. It quickly integrates into serial communication networks including modem and data radio.
