Description
The TecSec PIV Eagle Card - Contact cryptographic module provides data security for government and enterprise personnel identification. The primary purpose of this device is to enable the creation of a dual-chip PIV smart card as described in [FIPS201] that is fully compliant with the end-point service specified in SP800-73-1. The CM contains two Java Card applets implementing the PIV functionality (the Software) running on a GlobalPlatform Java Card operating system (the Firmware). The CM is physically connected to a smart card contact plate as defined in [7816-1] and [7816-2].
