Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The SafeNet HA2000 is a high-performance, standards-based hardware Virtual Private Network (VPN). Providing a high speed, low cost solution, it features strong security and complete manageability. SafeNet custom designed a state-of-the-art Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) for the HA2000 that allow high speed encryption with Data Encryption Standard (DES) and triple-DES. DES is included for legacy systems.
