Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Tele-ID is a portable, phone and PC compatible signature tool able to digitally sign messages, either locally entered on the module or whose Hash value has been transmitted to the module. The digital signature is encoded to sound and, hence, can be sent through any phone, cellular or fixed, or any PC microphone. The Tele-ID has capabilities to create an ECDSA K-163 key pair and enroll the public key with most of the PKI vendors RA-CA. The Tele-ID includes an autarkic GMT Time Stamp in each digital signature to enable CRL/OCSP on-line checking, after signature execution time-stamp corroboration, and with it, to strongly enhance the legal defense of the relying party.
