Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Vormetric Data Security Server is a multi-chip standalone cryptographic module. The Vormetric Data Security Server is the central point of management for the Vormetric Data Security product. It manages keys and policies, and controls Vormetric Transparent Encryption Agents. These agents contain the Vormetric Encryption Expert Cryptographic Module, which has been validated separately from this module.
