Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Luna® Backup HSM Hardware Security Module (HSM) provides the same level of security as the Luna® SA and Luna® PCI-E HSMs in a convenient, small, low-cost form factor. The Luna Backup HSM ensures that sensitive cryptographic material remains strongly protected in hardware even when not being used. One can easily back up and duplicate keys securely to the Luna Backup HSM for safekeeping in case of emergency, failure or disaster.
