It is probably only visible from Japan, but here it is:

Does it really work with stock Android? I always assumed that it uses some
proprietary protocol and driver to talk to the FeliCa chip. The whole thing is
proprietary and patented all over, but they do have web services that do
their proprietary key derivation (iCAS), so it is possible that it's
done online.
The other alternative is a dedicated derivation chip, but those are expensive.
