Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
HyTrust KeyControl is a key management system that is available in three different formats (ISO, OVA and AMI) and can be run on physical x86 based hardware as a virtual machine and on one of a number of different hypervisor platforms or as a combination of both when running in clustered mode.
