You can write it yourself but a working solution is already there. It's
possible to flash Java applet to almost any common jcard (they're pretty
cheap). Have a look at the nice guide by Subgraph team [1].
For the purpose of digest signing you can easily modify the applet to
have more than two signing keys (keep in mind that there are some card
limits).
