Entrust - FIPS 140 #4336

historicalLevel 2

The nShield modules: nShield F2 500+ & nShield F2 1500+ & nShield F2 6000+ family of secure e-commerce HSMs are multi-tasking hardware modules that are optimized for performing modular arithmetic on very large integers. The nShield modules are FIPS 140-2 level 2 embedded devices. The units are identical in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
