Would something like that be possible for the Neo900 too (e.g via some cheap and small chip)? Is it already planned and I missed it?
OMAP3 might or might not have some hw accel for crypt functions (probably related to HS devices which Neo900 is _not_ one of them). A separate chip is not feasible. I'm almost sure the CPU has enough power to encrypt/decrypt in realtime at maximum bandwidth of the storage interface.
