River Cryptographic Module
Google, Inc. - FIPS 140 #3383
The River Cryptographic Module is a Network Interface Card (NIC) housed on a host device, which is designed to support Ethernet and IP networking. The River module contains cryptographic hardware and firmware support, which allows data packets to be encrypted and decrypted using AES-GCM-128 at "line rate", while supporting a very large number of simultaneous Security Associations.
