To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-Bcc: I think it was Scientific American within the last 2-3 months. I won't check right now, but it could be I really saw it in CACM, or IEEE/Computer instead. Basically a MEMS research project where you have a keyed pinblock that is driven by electronics, but can't be spoofed like existing smart card solutions. That is, you can't use fault-injection (via microwaves or other means) then analyze the resultant output to make it orders of magnitude easier to break the key. I'd like to see what Ron Rivest thinks of this. He's probably commented on it in a crypto list somewhere.
