** DIGI ConnectCore 6UL products have the cryptographic functions implemented only within the following: Digi TrustFence® Embedded Security Framework (cryptographic algorithms are implemented within Linux OS v. 4.1.38), Wi-Fi module (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 5 module. Cryptographic and other functions and abilities of Digi TrustFence® Embedded Security Framework are accelerated by embedded NXP i.MX6UL processor. The processor itself is not used as a separate cryptographic module and does not accomplish any cryptographic functions by itself.
