You don't actually mean a one-time pad, do you? Sounds like you're referring to a one-time token authentication system, especially since you mention SecurID. (I mention this because a few responses are reacting to you mentioning an OTP, but I don't think that's what you meant.)
Actually I was interested in a pad...not a seeded authentication mechanism. I realize there's a key distribution issue, but it's not difficult to give out a CD with a few years worth of codes on it. Seeded will suffice though, in lieu of rolling my own OTP. I've been using SecurID at the companies I've worked at, so I didn't get a chance to see what's on the open source network, but now that I'm looking to implement this on my own systems, looks like a couple of the tools people mentioned might work.
