What's inside Russia's nuclear briefcase?

According to Russia's state news agency, RIA Novosti, the briefcase contain the codes to the nuclear arsenal.
The briefcase looks similar to a laptop case and allows the president to give the order to launch a nuclear weapon, by transmitting the launch permission code to the commanding staff of the Strategic Missile Forces (SMF).
