Re: Username password VS hardware token plus PIN

[John Hall <jhall () ptavvs net>]

In my experience every senior manager has either a PDA, pager, cellphone,
or Blackberry already.  We just need to make a secure token a required
component for all of those devices.  The first company that gets their
token into any two of the above devices in wide distribution is going
to be rich.
