When operated in FIPS Mode.
Description
The X4i HSM is a single chip cryptographic module using the Maxim MAX32590 hardware. The central purpose of the module is as a physical computing device that safeguards and manages cryptographic keys and provides cryptographic services to connected host devices. The module uses a number of strong identity-based authentication mechanisms to provide authentication, integrity, and (when necessary) non-repudiation.
