My laptop has a built in smart card reader, and my desktop has a USB one plugged in with a hardware pin-pad.
The cryptostick does look cool. I've come across it before. I like the smart card because I can just pop it in my wallet like a credit card.
You can also get keyboards with built in smart card readers, where the numeric keypad has a mode to operate as a hardware pin pad (rather than sending the keypresses to the computer) I'm thinking of getting one of these at some point.
Do you know of anyone who sells them in the US? (or OpenPGP cards or any other Linux usable tokens for that matter?) or do I have to order them from Germany?
don't you have one of those?
