Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
This module is based on a Java platform (GemCombiXpresso R4) with 144K EEPROM memory and on the SafesITe FIPS201 applet loaded on the Java Card platform. The Cryptographic Module provides dual interfaces (i.e. contact and contact-less) where the same security level is achieved. Module Ref# A1005963 - Card Ref# M1002255.
