Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
u.trust Anchor is a new generation of HSM, comprising all traditional hardware security features and introducing containerized HSMs (cHSMs). Each cHSM provides secure cryptographic services such as signing and verification of data, encryption or decryption, hashing, on-board random number generation and secure key generation, key storage and key management functions in a tamper-protected multi-tenant environment. The HSM delivers a highly elastic HSM architecture that scales rapidly on demand and enables service providers to deliver HSM as a Service (HSMaaS) in multiple use cases.
