Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Ericsson Cryptographic Module is a cryptographic library embedded in Ericsson’s Cradlepoint endpoints. The Ericsson Cryptographic Module offers symmetric encryption/decryption, digital signature generation/verification, hashing, cryptographic key generation, random number generation, message authentication, and key establishment functions to secure data-at-rest/data-in-flight and to support secure communications protocols (including TLS 1.2).
