You have smart card readers that are the size of a USB memory token. Some even include a flash memory. For example: - Eutron SIM Pocket Combo - Gemplus GemPC Key - Kobil KAAN SIM III - Kobil KAAN mIDentity Other examples but the smart card is soldered inside the reader and can't be changed: - RSA SecureID SID800 - Eutron CryptoIdentity - Verisign Secure Storage Token You can see pictures of these smart card readers on the web page of a free software CCID driver [1]. This driver is available in Debian in the libccid package. Your smart card must be a SIM plugin form factor. I don't know if the GnuPG card is available in that format. Note that you can plug the RSA SecureID token in a PC and use a small program to get the number displayed on the token screen. So you do not need a braille interface.
