Feitian Technologies Java Card Operating System (FT-JCOS), has been meticulously designed to conform to the strict standards of the Global Platform and ISO industry; thereby ensuring a fluidity and seamless interoperability of applications for card issuers as well as solutions developers. Through a focus on adhering to the essence of numerous heritage applications and not merely to the minimum requirements of the delineated standards themselves FEITIAN Java Card maintains compatibility with third-party applets as well as all existing smart card infrastructures. This practice facilitates multiple sourcing of the components within the smart card solutions.

FIPS 140-2 defines four levels of security, simply named "Level 1" to "Level 4. Physical security mechanisms required at Security Level 3 are intended to have a high probability of detecting and responding to attempts at physical access, use or modification of the cryptographic module. The physical security mechanisms may include the use of strong enclosures and tamper detection/response circuitry that zeroes all plain text CSPs when the removable covers/doors of the cryptographic module are opened.
