Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The IBM CryptoLite for Java (CLiJ) v4 is a Java Cryptographic Extension (JCE) compliant cross-platform software library which provides APIs for the cryptographic functions specified in NSA Suite B. CLiJ includes specific high performance implementations of a number of cryptographic algorithms and services. CliJ has highly optimized elliptic curve operations and very efficient implementation of finite field arithmetic.CLiJ can be used on any JVM running Java version 1.5 or higher. CLiJ is compliant with ANSI X9.62, ANSI X9.63 and IEEE 1363.
