I didn't understand most of your message. But without tamper resistant hardware, I don't see how you can protect the user key. If I store the key in my iPod, can't someone just copy the key?
Tamper resistant hardware allows you to use a private key if you know the PIN, but does not allow you to read the key. A couple of important advantages are that a thief needs both the hardware and the PIN, and that the theft is apparent because the physical device, not just the data contained in it, must be stolen. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
