Since speed is quite critical, I was thinking to use something like G20 Fox Board ( http://acmesystems.com/ ). It's surely not cheap (anyway it can be WAY cheaper than other solutions), but it's tiny, fast (400MHz ARM9), can work as USB device (and host, maybe to keep a master key on a standard smart card used only once at boot time), can accomodate a (small) display and many keys, and there's a module with an FPGA if you want/need to implement some crypto acceleration in HW. There's even an Ethernet port (better not to use it... :) ). Too bad USB runs at most at 12Mbps, but that shouldn't be an issue. Didn't know softhsm... I'll have a look at it.
