Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
CREDENTSYS-J is a secure smart card that is designed for National ID systems and multi-use enterprise security environments. The CREDENTSYS-J card is based on Java Card TM 2.2.1 and Global Platform 2.1.1 architectures and is readily deployable into existing or new PKI environments. CREDENTSYS-J cards offer a combination of high performance and cost-effectiveness by running on advanced 32-bit RISC processor cores with TDES and PKI cryptographic accelerations.
