Module description
The module exists to provide cryptographic services to applications running on behalf of its users which communicate with it via a standard Ethernet interface using IP protocols. In order to provide these services, the module also requires a power supply. The module is usually sold embedded within a stand-alone network appliance. That appliance is typically used in large-scale cloud infrastructures, where ease of remote configuration and operation is required.
