Module Name
ProtectServer Internal Express (PSI-e)
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode
Embodiment
Multi-chip embedded
Description
The SafeNet PSI-e is a high-end intelligent PCI adapter card, used either standalone or in the SafeNet PSE appliance, that provides a wide range of cryptographic functions using firmware and dedicated hardware processors. The module provides key management (e.g., generation, storage, deletion, and backup), an
extensive suite of cryptographic mechanisms, and process management including separation between operators. The PSI-e also features non-volatile tamper protected memory for key
storage, a hardware random number generator, and an RTC.
