Even if you're doing digital design all day you _need_ an analog background to do a good job. Most of the time analog signals aren't directly input to your microcontroller / DSP... as you need to add protection to your input stage, filter for parasites etc...
>1Mhz digital signals can't simply be laid out on a board without thinking of the problems that may arise due to the nearby signals / layout of your transmission lines. Everything on your board is analog and I'm not even mentioning what you should take care of when you'll have to do EMC testing.
On a side note I'm very skeptical of the article's quality...
At Hackaday we're actually developing a solution that could work in your case.
The concept behind this product is to minimize the number of ways your passwords can be compromised, while generating and storing long and complex random passwords for the different websites you use daily. It is designed to be as small as possible so it can fit in your pocket.
The Mooltipass is composed of one main device and a smartcard.
On the device are stored your AES-256 encrypted passwords. The smartcard is a read protected EEPROM that needs a PIN code to unlock its contents (AES-256 key + a few websites credentials). As with your credit card, too many tries will permanently lock the smart card. Therefore, you'd only need to share your PIN code with your husband/wife (5 to 6 numbers)
And the whole project is open source.... http://hackaday.com/tag/developed-on-hackaday/

Hi! Actually if you put one whistled in one "inside" room corner this won't happen :)
The microphone is omnidirectional, but not that much :)
