Hardware dongle with FreeBSD support?
Hello questions-list! I'd like to know if anyone here is aware of a hardware manufacturer or supplier that offers dongles with FreeBSD support? (A small piece of hardware to plug into a USB or serial/parallel port with the possibility to store encrypted information on it.) Background: The company I work for sells a system running on FreeBSD and we need to have this kind of copy protection and the possibility to store some bits of information on the dongle. Our current solutions already includes a parallel port dongle (WIBUKEY), but the driver for this one is capable to check for existence only, not to store to and retrieve information from it. So we are looking for an alternative. Anyone here who can recommend a dongle with decent support for FreeBSD? -- br. j. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

See http://www.safenet-inc.com. They make dongles and (USB) hardware keys for software products and they mention support for Linux and OS X, so they may have something. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

(The data on it needs to be protected from the customer, not somebody who might steal the dongle.) -- br. j. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Those guys seem to have drivers for FreeBSD 5.0+ for programming their USB dongles.
