Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Cylink ATM Encryptor provides data privacy and access control for connections between vulnerable public and private ATM networks. It employs FIPS approved DES or Triple-DES algorithms and, with the flexibility to choose the desired interface module, can be deployed in T1, E1, T3, E3, OC3c and OC12c networks. The Cylink ATM Encryptor can be centrally controlled or managed across multiple remote stations using Cylink's PrivaCy Manager®, an SNMP-based security management system.
