One thing that a lot of companies are enforcing is two factor authentication, or even three!
Basically 2 fact authentication is made up of 2 of the following :
Something you know
Something you have
Something you are
Most people use a PIN with a number token (RSA do one called SecureID, the 6 digit number changes every 60 secs).
For those who would like to play with this, RSA do a evaluation kit with 2 tokens and the software. It is good to play with and securing your home pc from your kids !!!
I use a combination of the above for my work and for one customer I have to use all three !
I know that the banks are now looking to use this. I believe that Lloyds is going to deploy this.
