[Cryptography] Durable HSM with fingerprint reader?

[Ray Dillinger]

I'm looking for long-lasting, tamper-resistant secure hardware that does
a cryptographically simple job.  It stores a bunch of unique keys, gets
to sit on people's desktops, and in principle never needs to be moved
(except that someone might want to store it to keep it safe - it is
potentially a high-value target for thieves or saboteurs).

It needs to have a fingerprint reader - a pretty good one in terms of
being hard to spoof. Other than that a red LED and a green LED are the
only UI necessary.

It needs to get time from a reasonably reliable external source such as
a GPS signal and/or the atomic clock broadcast. Correctness of time will
also be enforced by limited time windows during which particular keys
are authorized for answering challenges.

It's a device for the user to periodically check-in and assert that "I
am alive and free, today."

And it needs to be reliable enough to last a very long time.

Any candidates?
