Module description
The CryptoServer CSe-Series is an encapsulated, protected security module realized as a multi-chip embedded cryptographic module per FIPS 140-2. Its realization meets overall FIPS 140-2 Level 3 requirements, with Level 4 "Physical Security". The module's primary purpose is to provide secure cryptographic services such as encryption or decryption (for various algorithms like AES and Triple-DES), hashing, signing and verification of data (RSA, ECDSA, DSA), random number generation, on-board secure key generation, key storage and further key management functions in a tamper-protected environment.
