Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

TrustedKeep is a secure object storage and sharing solution, providing robust access controls around your objects and securing them both in transit and at rest. It is designed from the ground up for object-level encryption, assigning a unique key to each object being stored, and capable of managing billions of objects in a single cluster. TrustedKeep handles all encryption and decryption at the boundaries, maintaining control at all times over key material, so that engineering mistakes do not result in key material (or sensitive data) being swapped to disk or left in memory.
