Module description
The K3 Chrysalis-ITS Cryptgraphic Engine is a hardware cryptographic module in the form of a PCI card that resides within a secured generalpurpose computing appliance. It is contained in its own secure enclosure that provides physical resistance to tampering and zeroization in the event the enclosure is opened. The cryptographic boundary of the module is defined to encompass all components inside the secure enclosure on the PCI card.
