Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Simple Access SSL-100 SDK is a high performance drop-in accelerator card that processes up to 4000 1024-bit RSA keys/second. A single SSL-100 SDK will allow a Web server to achieve sustained throughput of up to 1600 new SSL connections per second using 1024-bit operands. The SSL-100 SDK offloads SSL processing and the huge cryptographic computations from the server, freeing the CPU to respond immediately to transactions. This solution eliminates dropped connections, failed transactions and slow response times thereby maintaining user loyalty to transactional Web sites.
