i'm yet to see a decent defense against keyloggers like this thats acceptable to home users.

Decent defense against keyloggers etc.: Do not let anyone compromise your machine. It boils down to this; even with "authenticated" hardware there's always a step that is not authenticated. As long as you don't let anyone tamper with your machine, you're safe.

And if you do think your hardware has been compromised, there are ways to attempt an offline recovery of data so that the attacker never knows you have decrypted your system and gotten the data out. Physically destroy the machine afterwards, to be sure.
