Well, I worked with one of proprietary security tokens before. Nothing to be proud of, unpatched software/firmware bugs, zero responsibility of manufacturer and usability mess. The thing is, not only cryptography hardware and software itself should be safe, but whole system should be up-to date and have no weak links, which is hard in practice and few want to pay for it.
Makes me think if there is any incentive to do crypto properly or security theater will always prevail?
