Gervase,
The ability to use a chip as holder of credentials for on-line
providers like Bugzilla is unlikely to happen in a major way until
there is an open solution for getting keys down into the
chip/container that is:
1. Usable by non-experts
2. Is secure in such a way that banks could use it
3. Doesn't require non-standard middleware or card readers
Some people believe that the PC form-factor is toast and that
all innovation in this space will be in iPhone & friends.
I, FWIW, still haven't given up adding such a facility to Firefox
but it sure isn't easy.
What about the client cert in a smart card?
That's old and standard and supported by Mozilla.
I don't know what kind of prices you'd have to pay for small quantities
though.
