So, there's something called Trusted Computing [trustedcomputinggroup.com] that many large companies are working on. From their own site, this is what Trusted Computing is supposed to do:

• Store keys, digital certificates, passwords and data securely in hardware
• Enhance network security
• Protect online commerce transactions
• Help protect against viruses, worms and other malicious attacks
• Protect digital identities
• Provide authentication between systems and networks
• Allow for single sign-on to systems
• Enable digital signatures for financial and other transactions
• Support regulatory compliance for Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and other federal requirements
