Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
"RX65N-2MB Security Management Module" is provided as a reference for developers creating FIPS 140-2-compliant products using the RX65N-2MB. The module has security hardware called "TSIP", which has encryption engine and random number generator. TSIP and firmware implement various cryptographic algorithms, key management, secure boot, and secure firmware update. In this module, the plaintext keys exists only inside TSIP which restricts external access.
