Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The CryptoServer Se-Series Gen2 is an encapsulated, protected security module realized as a multi-chip embedded cryptographic module as defined in FIPS 140-2. Its realization meets the overall FIPS 140-2 Level 3 requirements. The module's primary purpose is to provide secure cryptographic services such as encryption or decryption (for various cryptographic 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.
