The product has two execution modes. Java mode

is used when JavaCard™ 2.x byte codes are be-

ing executed. Native mode is used for long JavaC-

ard™ byte codes, Native methods and system

routines. The processor enters Java mode when a

dispatch (DISP) instruction is encountered. When

executing in Native mode, there are two privilege

levels, User and Supervisor. Some instructions

can only be executed in Supervisor mode.

Instructions are of variable length, from 1 to 4

bytes in Native mode.

Special instructions exist for single-cycle stack op-

erations, a frequent occurrence in Java code.

Short branches and conditional branches within a

1 KByte block or the entire 16-MByte instruction

space are supported. The product has four stages

of pipeline in Native mode: fetch, decode, execute

and write-back. In Java mode, there are five stag-

es of pipeline: byte code-fetch, byte code-decode,

decode, execute and write-back.

The CPU core has 16 32-bit general purpose reg-

isters, as well as special registers of variable

length.

The chip also features a very high performance

Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) to support

high speed serial communication protocols com-

patible with ISO 7816 standard.

It is manufactured using the highly reliable ST

CMOS EEPROM technology.

EMBEDDED SOFTWARE

The Hardware Software Interface (HSI) imple-

ments the Hardware abstraction layer. It consists

of C interfaces to the EEPROM memory and pe-

ripherals. The drivers are:

–

Non Volatile Memory

–

Asynchronous Serial Interface

–

Central Interrupt Controller

–

Timer

–

Random Number Generator

–

Clock Manager

–

Memory Protection Unit

–

Sensors

–

Security

Note:

–

The HSI driver software layer is a C-oriented

API allowing efficient and secure access to the

peripherals and Non Volatile Memory for

programming or erasing.

–

Only the OS and JavaCard™ Virtual Machine

(JVM) domains can access the HSI software

layer (In the following the term OS will refer to

the software layer that is directly interfaced to

the HSI).

CRYPTOGRAPHIC LIBRARY

ST proposes a complete set of firmware subrou-

tines to allow fast and easy implementation of

cryptographic protocols. These subroutines have

been optimized according to the ST22 core speci-

ficities and dedicated instructions. Security issues

have been addressed to provide state of the art

security. The whole library is located in a specific

ROM area access through a single entry point.

Following features are available through library:

ASYMMETRICAL ALGORITHMS:

–

Basic modular arithmetic for various

lengths including modular product for odd

modulus.

–

More elaborate functions (with separate

fast and secure versions) such as

exponentiation, RSA signatures and

verifications for modulo length up to

2048 bits long.

–

Full internal RSA key generation. This

guarantees that the secret key will never

be known outside the chip and will

contribute to the overall system security,

–

Random number generation of big size,

–

SHA-1.

SYMMETRICAL ALGORITHMS

–

DES, Triple DES including key schedule,

–

AES with standalone key schedule for

lenght 128, 192 and 256.
