Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Cryptoflex is a credit-card sized computer with a crypto-processor dedicated to security. Cryptoflex implements security industry functions based on public key cryptography directly onto the card, therefore eliminating the risk of sending secret data across a network. Keys and certificates for a variety of applications are stored in a single secure location, isolated from computer disks, which can fail or damaged and are susceptible to security breaches ad theft.
