Reminds me of FIDO's U2F protocol.

http://fidoalliance.org/specifications
https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/fido-u2f-security-key/

It ties into the browser SSL session to make sure only the correct server
can get the correct response for the challenge-response protocol, so that
credentials phishing is blocked and worthless. A unique keypair is
generated for each service for privacy, so that you can't easily be
identified across services from the usage of the device alone (thus safe
for people with multiple pseudonyms).
