  A new version of Transmeta's Crusoe TM5800 processor with
  the built-in security features will be available in the 
  second half of the year, said Walter Sun, a senior product 
  manager at Transmeta...The technology will enable users to
  store security-related information such as passwords and 
  keys to lock and unlock encrypted, or scrambled, messages 
  inside the processor, which serves as the brains of a 
  computer...The processor will also include a hardware 
  acceleration engine to speed up processing when strong 
  encryption technologies are used, such as Triple DES.
