If you would like to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses
of various authentication methods, I highly recommend the book

Authentication: From Passwords to Public Keys
by Richard E. Smith ISBN: 0201615991


I'll add:

Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World
by Charlie Kaufman, Radia Perlman, Mike Speciner, Charles Kaufman 
Prentice Hall PTR
ISBN: 0130460192 

I have not read the 2nd Edition, but the 1st was excellent.

I *have* read the 2nd Edition, and highly recommend it.  Hi Dave.  :)
