But it's just a token measure. You should be afraid of your own computer, your own network. SecureID does not authenticate the server you're going to send your data to. It does not detect if your computer is compromised. Sure, right now, it might help you personally, but once these simple tokens gain market share, attackers will adjust. It's not a general solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
