Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Luna XPplus, Luna XL/XLR and XL/XLR Premium are cryptographic modules based on a board that is equivalent to two Luna CA3 tokens with hardware cryptographic acceleration support. The XL/XLR is configured as a Level 2 stand-alone module. The XPplus and XL/XLR Premium operate as subordinate devices in conjunction with a Luna CA3 token. Each module can support all cryptographic algorithms listed in Appendix A of the Luna XPplus, XL/XLR and XL/XLR Premium Security Policy.
