This is really interesting. How does it work? I mean, are there any existing modules for PAM under Linux? Are SmartCards that safe, when just protected by PIN codes? What's about the security chip, which IBM puts into there Laptops/Workstations? Sebastian On Tuesday 12 August 2003 06:36, Scott Schwendinger wrote:
Sebastian, Smartcards can contain many authentication id's. PKI client certificates can be stored on the smartcard. When the user access the system/login, a request for proof is sent. The user must provide the PKI certificate. With the use a smartcard reader (external or internal) the PKI certificate is read and the user is authenticated.

It would be helpful, when primary configuration data could be saved to that card to support mobile users.
