We are seeing considerable interest lately in ways of improving security for
dial-up network access, beyond that provided by username and fixed, memorised
passwords.
We have just finished the initial development of a token-based Radius
authentication system for Radiator. It works with the iKey 1000 tokens from
Rainbow (www.rainbow.com/ikey/index.html) These are cute devices about the size
of your thumb that plug into a USB port. They contain an 8k file system and an
encryption engine. We have some PC software that talks to these things and a
Radiator module that does Access-Challenge with the NAS. The result is that a
user cant log in unless they physically have a genuine iKey keyed to their name
connected to the PC, and for which they have the PIN.
We feel that this is most useful for ISP staff, and for staff of corporates
with in-house or VPDN dialup access.
Is there anyone on the list interested in this?
If so, please contact me directly
