Module Name
ProtectServer Internal Express 2 (PSI-E2)
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 3. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
Security Level Exceptions
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Embedded
Description
The SafeNet PSI-E 2 is a high-end intelligent PCI adapter card, used either standalone or in the SafeNet PSE 2 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 2 also features non-volatile tamper protected memory for key storage, a hardware random number generator, and an RTC.
