Module Name
nCipher 1600 PCI, nCipher 1600 PCI for NetHSM, nCipher 800 PCI, nForce 1600 PCI, and nForce 800 PCI
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When initialized to Overall Level 3 per Security Policy - Only operates in FIPS mode at Level 3
Embodiment
Multi-chip embedded
Description
The nCipher modules: nCipher 800 PCI, nCipher 1600 PCI, nCipher 1600 PCI for NetHSM, nForce 800 PCI and nForce 1600 PCI family of secure ecommerce HSM's are multi-tasking hardware modules that is optimized for performing modular arithmetic on very large integers. The nCipher modules are FIPS 140-2 level 3 embedded devices. The units are identical in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
