Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Voltage IBE Cryptographic Module is a component of the Voltage IBE Toolkit, a set of development tools that enable any application to quickly and easily use Identity Based Encryption (IBE) to secure data. IBE uses simple strings like email or IP addresses as public keys, eliminating the need for certificates and associated management. The Voltage IBE Cryptographic Module also contains implementations of 3DES, AES, SHA- 1, and DSA. The Voltage IBE Toolkit is available for download at http://developer.voltage.com
