Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
SafeGuard® CryptoServer Se is an encapsulated, protected hardware security module which provides secure cryptographic services like encryption or decryption (for various cryptographic algorithms like Triple-DES, RSA and AES), hashing, signing, and verification of data (RSA, ECDSA), random number generation, on-board secure key generation, key storage and further key management functions in a tamper-protected environment. The module is optionally available with or without RSA Crypto Accelerator.
