Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Mercury Systems ASURRE-Stor™ SSD implements an industry standard 2.5" secure solid state hard drive. Unlike many secure SSDs, the ASURRE-Stor™ SSD does not depend on a TPM device, TCG, or OPAL to implement security. Instead the ASURRE-Stor™ SSD implements security using AES-256 XTS encryption and several key management techniques that are compatible with the ATA specification. These techniques provide superior and flexible solutions for mission critical defense applications and have no requirements for unencrypted shadow MBR sectors or 3rd party OPAL software.
