Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Seagate Secure® TCG Opal SSC Self-Encrypting Drive is embedded in Seagate Momentus® Thin Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs). The cryptographic module (CM) provides a wide range of cryptographic services using FIPS approved algorithms. Services include hardware-based data encryption, instantaneous user data disposal with cryptographic erase, independently controlled and protected user data LBA ranges, and authenticated FW download. The services are provided through an industry-standard TCG Opal SSC interface.
