Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Luna® CA³ token securely stores data and keying material inside its cryptographic boundary. It also performs cryptographic operations on data provided by external applications using the keying material stored in the token. These abilities are defined as key management, object management, and cryptographic capability.
