Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
eToken 5300 is an ideal solution for enterprises looking to deploy the military-grade security of PKI, while maintaining a convenient solution for employees. The eToken 5300 is a compact, tamper-evident USB with presence detection, which creates a third factor of authentication. Something you have (physical token), something you know (PIN), something you do (touching the token). The eToken 5300 is a state-of-the-art new design, which offers multi-application dynamic smart card functionality.
