Not every brand is as much supported as the other. 1 usually key can handle several passwords. So it could for example also be used as windows login. -iKey: http://www.safenet-inc.com/products/ikey/index.asp -Alladin: http://www.ealaddin.com/etoken/default.asp -Gemplus: http://www.gemplus.fr/pss/id_security/ -Schlumberger: http://www.scryptosystems.com/SCRYPTOMEDIA%20eGate%201p%20uk.pdf Personally I prefer keys over smart cards because the keys are smaller and physically stronger. And most PCs already have a USB slot but very few have a smard card reader. I can't find any info about biometrics anymore. Sorry for that. But there are for example mice that only work when your fingerprint is detected. Another thing you might consider is a USB pen (drive). Those are 512KB-4GB 'harddisks' You can easily store your PGP keyring on it. Just like PGP can store a keyring on floppy. The added benefit of this method is that you can also use it for transporting (little) files or store private information. Price $14....$900 The idea and use is quite simple but finding the one that fits best with your wishes will take you some time investigating. Good luck on the secure side! :-) -- Tony ah, yes, divorce..., from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet. ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
