Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The SecureParser is a security and high data availability architecture delivered in the form of a software toolkit that provides cryptographic data splitting (data encryption, random or deterministic distribution to multiple shares including additional fault tolerant bits, key splitting, authentication, integrity, share reassembly, key restoration and decryption) of arbitrary data. During the split process, additional redundant data may be optionally written to each share enabling the capability of restoring the original data when all shares are not available.
