Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Secure Generic Sub-System (SGSS) is a multi-chip embedded module used to provide secure cryptographic resources to a number of products in the Thales e-Security portfolio. This includes the Datacryptor 2000 family, WebSentry family, HSM 8000 family, P3CM family, PaySentry, 3D Security Module and SafeSign Crypto Module. The SGSS contains a secure bootstrap and authenticates application loading using the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and the RSA algorithm.
