This seems to be a HSM[1] device, it provides a hardware crypto
accelerator and a secure key store. HSM's are commonly used on web and
/ or application servers for secure internet applications. And in PKI
solutions.

Useful if anybody comes up with application(s) that needs
hardware-secured crypto keys on the mobile device.
