Cyberflex Access has an impressively fast RSA coprocessor, too.  It
can do 1024 bit RSA decryption (signature) in about 2 seconds.  The
only other smartcard we tried was iButton, and this took about 7
seconds. 

We tried to purchase Java cards with RSA from Gemplus and G&D a half
year ago, but they were not shipping them then, and we have not heard
from them.
