330j Java Card

The Model 330j is the Java-based smart card, designed to the Java Card v2.1.1 and Global Platform v2.0.1 specifications.

The Model 330j card features JCCOS (Java-based Cryptographic Card Operating System) operating system applet - a highly efficient cryptographic and data management application, built in to Read-Only Memory (ROM). With this built-in applet that supports a broad range of IT and security applications, the Model 330j card saves most of its 32K EEPROM for other applications and data storage and enables rapid card deployment by virtually eliminating application personalization.

In addition to supporting Global Platform v2.0.1 for applet loading and deletion, the card's architecture allows for simple management of digital credentials in the field by giving users the ability to modify the data-only contents of their own card (as allowed by an organization's security policy).

Model 330j also meets GSC-IS native card-edge interface requirements. The Model 330j is an ideal card platform for emerging government smart ID programs where broad interoperability, rapid deployment, and future expandability are key requirements.

Model 330j Architecture

Model 330j to provide built-in cryptographic and data container management functions while giving enterprises the ability to add new applications in the future. A high security, high performance cryptographic application is embedded in ROM instead of EEPROM, providing many advantages from a security, use or memory, deployment, and card management perspective, including:

• Efficient use of memory - Only the data objects created and used by the built-in cryptographic applet are stored in EEPROM; no memory space is used for overhead for cryptographic applets.
• User manageability of the contents of the smart card - Users can easily load and delete data objects on their smart card, without requiring a return to an issuing station or compromising the Open Platform security model.
• Reduced deployment time - The Java application resides in ROM, not EEPROM. This saves time during the personalization process because the application already resides on the smart card.
• Compatibility with current CIP software - Leverages proven interoperability with a broad range of information security and e-business applications

The Model 330j smart card works on any Windows 98 or higher workstation, together with the Borderless Security Single Sign-On software or CIP client software, and the serial, USB, PCMCIA, or other PC/SC compliant smart card reader.
