Interesting reading!
To me it looks as if it would best fit our community to simply build
enough FST-01 units, so that they are not out of stock...
Everything is said to be free and open, even if the device isn't the fastest one:
https://github.com/vinaebizs/fst-01
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeeedDocument/FST-01/master/img/Fst-01-schematic.png
So it looks not very difficult to have them produced and stocked by us at
a reasonable price.

Ah, yes. And it has some keys, a display and even a battery - which is
all not required for an USB key encryption processor.

So the FST-01 looks in total like a good candidate! Who agrees, who disagrees?
BR and thanks,
