SafeNet PCIe Cryptographic Module for SafeNet IS

Certificate

Module description

SafeNet PCIe Cryptographic Module for SafeNet IS cryptographic module features powerful cryptographic processing and hardware key management for applications where performance and security are the priority. The multi-chip embedded hardware cryptographic module offers hardware-based key management and cryptographic operations to protect sensitive keys. The cryptographic boundary of the module is defined to encompass all components inside the secure enclosure on the PCI-E card.
