Last summer I worked with a company that used a PKCS12 Certificate on a
USB token for authentication of employees to access the VPN when they
are offsite. They used iKey from Rainbow Technologies. It worked well
for them

Subject: USB Tokens


Hi,
Has anyone used/developed/know of an application that can secure the OS
=
authentication (GINA) by using a standard USB token with say a =
certificate on it.

EG I have a 32Mb USB token with a certificate and when windows boots you
=
insert the USB token into the workstation and enter a password to unlock
=
the certificate.

Thoughts?

I am currently looking at if i have to buy a etoken from eAlladdin or =
somewhere. Would prefer to use a standard USB token.
Cheers
Justin
