Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The single-chip module is a 16-bit Sharp processor and a specifically modified version of the IBM JCOP 31-ID Java Card software satisfying the FIPS 140-2 requirements. The single-chip module provides an operational environment with up to 640 kBytes of Cryptographic Officer/Issuer available non-volatile memory. The defined user space allows for multiple validated applets to be concurrently loaded and used, as well as supporting re-issuance capability. The primary purpose for this device is to provide data security for Personnel Identification.
