[AusNOG] Authentication Tokens

[Nathan Brookfield]

I think it is aimed more at the SSO perspective so that people will have one
of these key's to say Log into Facebook or Twitter in the future.

I'm pretty sure the Paypal Token's are branded for an example.

I have use Nortel Contivity VPN Token's in the past which use Diffie Hellman
to authenticate and they work beautifully and reliably

Kindest Regards,

It's all about marketing, if you can make something look pretty, you can
sell it better.

But yes, you would be right, clearly in the wrong direction.

Is it just me, or is that a bit in the opposite direction that you
should be taking for secure tokens ? Surely advertising the corporate
network that the token could be used to break into if stolen isn't the
best idea...
