Re: Fob ??? [7:16224]
The Key Fob version of the Secure ID stuff is a little token card that goes on your keychain. The little strip of leather that's on your keychain? It's a Fob. If it's not leather, it may take the shape of a beer bottle opener. -me Art Barrera wrote: > All, > > Working with Secure ID Service and was wondering - > > Does "Fob" in Key Fob stand for anything when referencing a Token?

Security token generators made by Security Dynamics and others are manufactured in several physical forms. While the credit-card-calculator type is most common, there is a version that can attach to a keychain and is often called a key fob. Since RADIUS and TACACS support Security Dynamics, etc., there is a little relevance. > > > > >How on earth is this related to anything that this list is about? > >Anyway, a fob is a small pocket on the front of a man's pants or vest.

Re: Fob ??? [7:16224]
When he asked about it referencing a token, I assumed he was referring to token ring.maybe it's the chain that keeps the token in the ring, otherwise it would fall out and just be plain old ethernet?

Weird > word/acronym (it)... > How on earth is this related to anything that this list is about? Anyway, a fob is a small pocket on the front of a man's pants or vest. I know I have some slacks that still have a fob, but just one or two pair. This was used to hold one's pocket watch in the time when gentelmen carried such things. It later evolved to reference the chain used to hold a pocketwatch (haven't you read the "Gift of the Magi"?) and then to anything attached to such a chain. So, since we don't generally wear pocketwatches, the fob is now an ornamental (or in this case not so ornamental) attachment to a chain, here being ones keychain.

Anyway, a fob is a small pocket on the front of a man's pants or vest. I know I have some slacks that still have a fob, but just one or two pair. This was used to hold one's pocket watch in the time when gentelmen carried such things. It later evolved to reference the chain used to hold a pocketwatch (haven't you read the "Gift of the Magi"?) and then to anything attached to such a chain. So, since we don't generally wear pocketwatches, the fob is now an ornamental (or in this case not so ornamental) attachment to a chain, here being ones keychain.

Fob ??? [7:16224]
All, Working with Secure ID Service and was wondering - Does "Fob" in Key Fob stand for anything when referencing a Token? Weird word/acronym (it)...
