| Description | The Ampex TSEM hardware module provides two inline (“bump in the wire”) SATA encryptors running at 6Gbps. The paired encryptors support line rate performance with a very modest latency penalty. Using an intelligent secure microcontroller, the TSEM imposes few requirements or dependencies on the host platform, facilitating rolling software patches and without compromising the system design. The module is designed to operate over the industrial temperature range (components rated -40 to +85) and requires a dedicated carrier board to support cooling and physical security. |

Level 2Automated analysis
Automated inference - use with caution
All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.No automatically derived data are available in this section.

"description": "The Ampex TSEM hardware module provides two inline (\u201cbump in the wire\u201d) SATA encryptors running at 6Gbps. The paired encryptors support line rate performance with a very modest latency penalty. Using an intelligent secure microcontroller, the TSEM imposes few requirements or dependencies on the host platform, facilitating rolling software patches and without compromising the system design. The module is designed to operate over the industrial temperature range (components rated -40 to +85) and requires a dedicated carrier board to support cooling and physical security.",
