Strange, because I read the following on the Muscle website:
(http://www.linuxnet.com/cardsec.html)

"One of the key benefits of smart cards is the ability for some cards to support on board cryptography. ... By doing the actual cryptography on the card, the keys never have to leave their storage place. This gives the card holder a secure way of storing keys especially if the key pair was generated on the card."
