Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The IMS-SM is the Security Manager module present in the Dolby Laboratories, Inc. IMS1000 (for hardware models IMS-SM-C1, IMS-SM-C2, IMS-SM-E1 and IMS-SM-E2) or IMS2000 (for hardware models IMS2-SM-C1, IMS2-SM-C2, IMS2-SM-C3) that can be hosted inside D-Cinema DLP projectors. It supports highest JPEG-2000 decoding capabilities and accepts alternative content as well.
