Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Ravlin 10/5100 is a network security solution that performs encryption and decryption with a throughput of the theoretical maximum of Ethernet (or wire speed). Network administrators use it to establish private communications within secure intranets (between corporate divisions, workgroups, branch offices, and individuals) or within secure extranets (between customers, suppliers, and strategic partners). This may be done over private or public IP networks.
