Hello, Two-factor authentication is coming to online banking according to:
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/technology/12925643.htm As the value of domain names can be much higher than one's cash in the bank, registrars and/or registries might want to start thinking about forms of 2-factor authentication too for registrants (as I've been advocating for years, e.g. http://ispcentral.tucows.com/archives/discuss-list/0201/1006.html ). VeriSign actually has a solution these days, although not targeted towards domain clients: http://www.verisign.com/products-services/security-services/unified-authentication/index.html RSA has had a product for a long time: http://www.rsasecurity.com/node.asp?id=1157 It's my hope that these types of security standards become a "best practice" for companies in the domain name space. Hopefully the adoption in the banking industry will spur some registrars to examine the opportunities. Perhaps ICANN might want to consider inviting some speakers on this topic at a future event.
