Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The CyberCogs HSM is a multi-chip embedded hardware cryptographic module in the form of a PCI-Express card. The module is intended for use within a general-purpose or custom computing platform. The module is contained in its own secure tamper envelope providing active anti-tamper functionality. The module is designed to offer blind secure PKCS11 key signing, encryption, and token storage with physical security, over a PCIe connection to a Host server.
