Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The high assurance jForté/HAT module is a multi-function, secure device, specifically engineered to provide expanded storage and accelerated processing of complex cryptographic functions. jForté/HAT also provides high data throughput via its dual I/O interface, supporting both ISO7816-3 and Full Speed USB. The module is available in several different packaging configurations - smart card module, 24-pin SOIC or bare die. Our patented smart card packaging provides access to both 7816-3 and USB interfaces so the same smart card will work in both standard readers, at 7816 speeds, and in high-speed USB readers and Full Speed USB.
