FEITIAN-FIPS-COS
FEITIAN-FIPS-COS, from Feitian Technologies Co., Ltd., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #1927 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
FEITIAN-FIPS-COS, is both an integrated circuit and an operating system, and has been developed to support their ePass series USB1 tokens. These tokens are designed to provide strong authentication and identification and to support network logon, secure online transactions, digital signatures, and sensitive data protection. The FEITIAN-FIPS-COS provides all cryptographic functionality for their ePass line of products. ePass supports dual-factor authentication with an ISO27816-12 USB interface for the PC host connection acting as a smart card reader.
Security level exceptions
