Module description

The ‘Seagate Secure® TCG Opal SSC Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) FIPS 140-2 Module’ is embodied in Seagate Laptop thin and Laptop Self-Encrypting Drive model disk drives. The cryptographic module (CM) provides a wide range of cryptographic services using FIPS approved algorithms. Services include hardware-based data encryption, instantaneous user data disposal with cryptographic erase, independently controlled and protected user data LBA ranges, and authenticated FW download. The services are provided through an industry-standard TCG Opal SSC interface.
