Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Adaptive Services (AS) Physical Interface Card (PIC) is a multi-chip embedded cryptographic module, which supports a new level of services integration and performance. The AS2-FIPS PIC supports compressed real time protocol (CRTP), high-speed Network Address Translation (NAT), stateful firewall, tunnel services, IPSec encryption and J-Flow accounting today while having built-in headroom to support additional services in the future. With high-speed NAT and stateful firewall, providers can protect their networks and simultaneously deploy network-based security and VPN solutions.
