I don't understand the question. HMAC requires that both ends share a secret key; does that help? What do you mean by verification? Do you mean you want to make sure that's really Bob logging into your computer, even when Bob might have intentionally given his password to someone else? It sounds like you want something like DRM. What exactly are you trying to do? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
