Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Thales Cryptovisor K7+ Cryptographic Module is a high-assurance, Hardware Security Module with a tamper-active physical enclosure targeted at the service provider market. The cryptographic module secures sensitive data and critical applications by storing, protecting and managing cryptographic keys. It provides end users with industry-leading security and performance, and can quickly be embedded directly into servers and security appliances for FIPS 140-2 validated key security for elastic deployments particularly in support of cloud applications.
