I don't mean it should look "card like", it is more about a software
platform than it is about form factor.

I believe that JavaCard is at the moment the only thing that actually
has the status of a "commodity platform".

A smart card just happens to be the smallest and least powerful yet
most effective instance of the platform.

Like my virtual java card runtime environment emulator: nothing to do
with smart cards, but a lot to do with the software platform as such.

Trusted execution environments are important.
