You mean pgp/gpg keys?

Anyways, the memory ibutton can store stuff like that. But I do not know
of any possibility of mounting it as a drive under linux. Only the mibfm
program which can transfer files back and forth from the ibuttons. You
could probably put a script together for automating the process of
retrieving your secret key before signing.

BTW, I think this mailinglist is pretty empty. You could try to check and
see if anyone at this list

  http://lists.dalsemi.com/mailman/listinfo/1-wire-software-development

have any ideas.
