Hello Florian,

I do not have any suggestions (yet) but as of today, I've been thinking
about writing an application to process financial data, using some type
of robust encryption, where the (encrypted) data files are stored
onto a usb stick. The only time the app can run is when it detected the
encrypted usbstick is ready.... I do not want to even store the data on the
computer's HD.


Not exactly the same thing, but similar.  I'll be curious to see
what ideas or existing solutions get posted to your question....
