The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and products and applications, which will be jointly developed for PC companion devices such as PC, Compact Flash and PCI cards, as well as USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. devices. The CDL-82 enables and accelerates DES, Triple DES See DES. (cryptography) triple DES - A product cipher which, like DES, operates on 64-bit data blocks. There are several forms, each of which uses the DES cipher 3 times. Some forms use two 56-bit keys, some use three. The DES "modes of operation" may also be used with triple-DES. and Public Key algorithms in a single crypto-chip configuration. It is a trusted cryptographic component that satisfies all forms of secure financial applications and is ideal for meeting FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) A series of publications issed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that specifies information security guidelines for federal government departments and agencies. 140-1 (Levels 2-4) requirements.
