Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Dell BSAFE™ Crypto Module for C software library is designed for developers to incorporate FIPS 140-3 approved cryptography into C-based products. BSAFE™ Crypto Module security software helps protect sensitive data as it is stored, using strong encryption techniques that ease integration with existing data models. Using the capabilities of BSAFE™ Crypto Module software in applications helps provide a persistent level of protection for data, lessening the risk of internal, as well as external, compromise.
