Digi International introduces the XPress Crypto Module, the industry’s first cryptographic embedded module for developing wireless and wired devices that meet stringent federal cryptography standardsrequired for many government, financial and other regulated industries.

In applications in which single photons must be detected, such as in spectroscopy, confocal or Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy, single molecule detection, and quantum cryptography, it is not only important to achieve an extremely low dark count rate of the detector, but a detection efficiency that is as high as possible. Each percent counts. Depending on the version, the COUNT modules exhibit efficiencies of >80% at 670nm and >5...
