Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
HiPKI SafGuard 1200 HSM is a multi-chip standalone cryptographic module that is used to provide highly-secure cryptographic services and key storage for PKI applications. (e.g., secure private key storage, high-speed accelerator for 1024-4096 bit RSA and ECDSA signatures, and hashing). The HiPKI SafGuard 1200 HSM provides secure identity-based authentication using smart cards and data encryption using FIPS approved Triple-DES and AES encryption.
