Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The IBM® Everyplace Wireless Gateway Cryptographic Module provides encryption and other cryptographic services for the IBM® Everyplace Wireless Gateway for Multiplatforms. The IBM® Everyplace Wireless Gateway for Multiplatforms is a distributed, scalable, multipurpose UNIX® communications platform that can support optimized, security-enhanced data access by both Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) clients and non- WAP clients over a wide range of international wireless network technologies, as well as local area (LAN) and wide area (WAN) wire line networks. The cryptographic module was tested on a AIX Version 5.2 platform.
