Hi,

Please add me to your list.

Awhile back I had proposed to the list a crypto dongle. My proposal
follows pretty much what is now an I-Button but the I-Button is missing
one key ingredient: A wipe switch. I consider this crucial to any such
device that there be a mechanism to completely wipe all data stored in
memory.

I noticed that you have been doing some work with the I-Buttons. How much
effort do you think would be involved in modifying an I-Button to add this
feature?

Thanks,

--
