Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The ES-1200 is a low cost, size, weight & power multichip programmable embedded cryptographic module. It provides encryption and decryption services, plaintext bypass, key management, and PIN-based access control. The ES-1200 is intended for use in environments where FIPS 140-2 Level 2 cryptographic products are required. Typical applications are military Transmission Security (TRANSEC), Communications Security (COMSEC), and Data-At-Rest (DAR) using Suite B cryptography.
