At the LinxTag Berlin me had a look at the German Privacy Foundation booth and they are playing around with a very kewl thing: a combined smartcard/USB stick. For security stuff this seems to me like an excellent idea, since the smartcard holds the secret keys and the USB stick part could serve as the boot-partition. It doesnt need a card reader plugged to the computer and having the boot partition on an external stick eliminates one of the few possible attack scenarios left with a fully encrypted disk.
