eToken 5110+ FIPS
eToken 5110+ FIPS, from Thales, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4479 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its algorithm certificates, its validation history, and the list moves this tracker has observed, which NIST does not date.
Caveat: No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
SafeNet eToken 5110+ FIPS is a secure portable two-factor USB authenticator with advanced smart card technology. It utilizes certificate based technology to generate and store credentials, such as private keys, passwords and digital certificates inside the protected environment of the smart card chip. To authenticate, users must supply both their personal SafeNet authenticator and password, providing a critical second level of security beyond simple passwords to protect valuable digital business.
