Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Entrust IdentityGuard PIV Credential is a cryptographic module intended for use by US Federal agencies and other markets that require smartcards conformant with the PIV standards. The module can also be configured for use in markets where the set of keys and data objects, or the access control rules governing their use, differ from the PIV data model.
