Very interesting Security device

Today while listening to "Security Now" podcast, the guys mentioned about Yubikey, and I went out on some google search about it. Look very interesting and promising. The designs they developed is really nice indeed.

From the developers:

"The Yubikey is a new authentication solution, designed for the mass market of web 2.0 applications. The user inserts the YubiKey in any computer with a USB port on any platform or browser – no client software install needed – then press the YubiKey button to generate a one time passcode.

The secret behind the YubiKey is the fact that the little device is actually a USB keyboard. But with only one button and designed to do two things: To generate the user’s unique identity and a one time pass code that only works the very second it’s used. Every time the user presses the button it generates a new pass code."
