Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The SafeNet HA500/1000 Gateway is a high-performance, standards-based hardware Virtual Private Network (VPN) and firewall. Providing a high speed, low cost solution, it features the strongest cryptography available and complete manageability. SafeNet custom designed a state-of-the-art Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) for the HA500/1000 that allows encryption using either AES, DES, or triple-DES as nIeeded by client applications.
