Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

NXP Semiconductors offers the secure element EdgeLock™ SE051 as a turnkey solution for IoT security. It comes with JCOP4, a secure Java Card Operating System based on several independent 3rd party specifications, such as Java Card 3.0.4 specifications or the GlobalPlatform, and an applet optimized for IoT security use cases pre-installed and updatable via SEMS Lite. There is also a version that can be programmed with customer developed applets. The solution is complemented by NXP’s Plug & Trust Middleware, enabling fast time to market & easy design in with host applications.
