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.
Doing your secure token on a communications device opens up some serious issues; anyone who can crack you over the wireless network, or persuade your wireless provider to simply give admin access to your device, has you cold, with the token algorithm, configured keys and state in the device, and your passphrase captured next time you enter it. -- Anthony de Boer _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
