A friend of mine and I discussed a similar topic years ago about how the grocery store chains could succeed with an automated delivery service. One of the topics was locked coolers on the outside of a house like a large mailbox.
The delivery driver would have essentially held a key with that digitally interfaced with the box to digitally verify it. So naturally this led to a discussion about encrypted keys and how it can be extended into the real world to do things like deliver the mail. The thing with a digitally encrypted mailbox is that you don't need to be there to sign for a package. The postman can prove delivery confirmation through the keys signature and time stamp. This might upset people who value their privacy though... but they will find another way of course and someone like us would just anonymize the keys :-) I think this idea can be applied to so many things I am suprised no one like verisign has made a move into the real world yet.
