Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
CA100 is a centrally managed software IPSec client with VPN and firewall functionality. Unlike traditional IPSec software clients that have both the software client and associated policy locally stored on the client's system, the Cryptek CA100 user policies are stored and dynamically downloaded from our manager, the Cryptek CC200.
