Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
SafGuard200 is a multi-chip standalone cryptographic module that is used to provide highly-secure cryptographic services and key storage for PKI applications. (e.g., secure private key storage, high-speed math accelerator for 1024-4096 bit public key signatures, and hashing). The SafGuard 200 HSM provides secure identity-based challenge-response authentication using smart cards and data encryption using FIPS approved 3DES and AES encryption.
