How about smartcards? J3A081 costs $10 on javacardsdk.com, both contact less and wired connections, readers if not built in into laptop are generally cheap. There are also a few tools like GlobalPlatformPro that help when developing things for javacards. Basicly You have some java and prepared ant, then You just call ant and have everything working. I had to quickly set up this enviroment few months ago and it was painless experience. Question is about performance but anyway we need secure storage. Some cortex (propably m) microcontrollers have secure storage of keys, this is also a thing to consider. Trusting vendor is other thing but everybody has to anser this question by himself. -- Cranix
