Secure Generic Sub-System (SGSS), Version 3.4
Thales e-Security Inc. - FIPS 140 #836
The Secure Generic Sub-System (SGSS) is a multi-chip embedded module used to provide secure cryptographic resources to a number of products in the Thales e-Security portfolio. This includes the Datacryptor® 2000, Datacryptor® Advanced Performance and Small Form Factor family (Link, Frame Relay, E1/T1, E3/T3, and IP models), WebSentry™ family, HSM 8000 family, P3™ CM family, 3D Security Module and the SafeSign® Crypto Module. The SGSS contains a secure bootstrap and authenticates application loading using the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and SHA-1 hashing.
