ABSTRACT
For example, it is not uncommon for a processor to
perform cryptographic functions for DES, 3DES, RSA
1024-bit, and SHA-1, to name a few.
Variable power (2.7 to 5.5 V)—Given advances in today’s IC substrate, many cards will operate below
3 V, offering longer life and greater efficiencies.
Alternatively, they can also operate up to 5.5 V to
accommodate old card readers and systems.
