Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The GlobalSCAPE® Cryptographic Module (GSCM) provides cryptographic services for the GlobalSCAPE family of software products such as Secure FTP Server and EFT Server. The services include symmetric/asymmetric encryption/decryption, digital signatures, message digest, message authentication, random number generation, and SSL/TLS support. The GSCM is intended for use by applications through the moduleÆs Application Programming Interface (API), which is based on the OpenSSL API defined by the OpenSSL Project.
