Well, as far as I can make out from the bibliotheca wikia it was implemented 
in the device it was named after - the Caesar (model Julius was the first 
one to run it). But surprisingly enough it seemed to be portable to some of 
the better Centurion devices - at least the de-cryption part of it.

Unfortunately the original implementation was one of the first examples of 
proprietary software and could not be ported to the devices of non-Roman 
companies. Usually because there was no implementation of the Littera 
programming language for them.
