The main chip contains a special security controller with some internal, non-volatile ROM for the firmware, non-volatile EEPROM for the data and RAM.
Furthermore, it contains a cryptographic engine for accelerating encryption and decryption processes, a hash accelerator and a random number generator (needed to generate secure cryptographic keys).
