Stealth surfer could be the thing you need (
http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/review/stealthsurfer_ii ) or you could
just use any usb key that asks for a password the access the
"protected" data or your could even use a biometric usb key.
there are any how a lot of products you can find on the web that could
make you a happy man.
hope it helps

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows if there is a product that
serves as a pocketable password vault?  I'm thinking something like a
PCMCIA card that has an LCD (touch)screen that can securely store all of
my passwords and maybe interfaces through a PCMCIA port to allow for
password management.  I've seen a number of my co-workers store their
passwords on encrypted ASCII files on their PDAs, but that seems a bit
clunky to me.  The USB options are closer to what I'm looking for, but
if I need my ATM pin number or some offline password, I would need a PC
to look up the info.  Again, clunky.  Writing the passwords down on a
piece of paper and carrying them around is a little too insecure for me.

Thanks in advance.
