Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Promail II is an electronic device developed by Neopost Online that stores revenue and dispenses it to a host computer, such as a PC compatible, under control and direction of a Neopost Online customer. The Promail II attaches to and communicates with the host computer via either a serial or USB interface. The revenue is dispensed from the Promail II in the form of a digitally signed indicium, a unique bit pattern that can be determined to have originated from a particular device at a particular point in time.
