I got this out of newsletter I received a few days ago.
Hopefully it isn't old knowledge yet.
Crypto Chip Debuts
National Semiconductor has released the iPower encryption
chip, which was designed for use in PCMCIA cards and provides
a reange of security features. The chip can encrypt data via
multiple enryption algorithms, and will self-destruct upon any
tampering attempt, using a self-contained chemical. Cards that
use the iPower chip can also provide additional functions
such as tracking user access times. The iPower division is
based in Santa Clara, CA. 408/721-8797.
