Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The AUC-10 GARP Cryptographic Module (CM) is a multi-chip embedded module composed of the AGEN2R WCDMA Authentication Vectors Generation application executing on an Ericsson proprietary Generic Application Regional Processor (GARP) board. The 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP) organization defines standards followed by the telephony industry for 3G networks (GSM and WCDMA). The Authentication Center (AUC) is the specific entity that provides authentication and ciphering data to the WCDMA system.
