Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

Crypto-J software library is designed for developers to incorporate FIPS 140-2 approved cryptography into Java-based products. Crypto-J security software helps protect sensitive data as it is stored, using strong encryption techniques that ease integration with existing data models. Using the capabilities of Crypto-J software in applications helps provide a persistent level of protection for data, lessening the risk of internal, as well as external, compromise.
