__TOM | nick, you around? | 19:21 |
---|---|---|
nowen | yes | 19:21 |
__TOM | had a quick Q regarding unlocked vs locked soft tokens for windows/mac | 19:21 |
nowen | ok | 19:22 |
__TOM | i guess im looking for an answer regarding how unlocked is less secure than the locked version | 19:22 |
__TOM | when the token registers with the server do they not generate a seperate pub/priv keypair? | 19:22 |
__TOM | so if user A has 2 computers | 19:22 |
nowen | the locked tokens pull data from the machine during registration such as the CPU identifier or mac address and hashes it | 19:23 |
nowen | this hash must match for each OTP request | 19:23 |
nowen | it prevents unsophisticated users from moving the token | 19:23 |
nowen | also, it has a variable pin pad | 19:23 |
__TOM | with the unlocked token, they can choose to move it at will? | 19:23 |
nowen | which may help thwart keyloggers | 19:23 |
nowen | yes | 19:23 |
__TOM | wouldnt they need to reregister? | 19:24 |
nowen | no, they move the file that has the keys which are registered | 19:24 |
__TOM | ohhh | 19:24 |
__TOM | i see. | 19:24 |
__TOM | and if there are no additional steps for implementing a locked token, is there a reason one would not implement locked tokens only? | 19:24 |
__TOM | and is this a concern for mobile devices like android as well? | 19:25 |
__TOM | like is the android client considered locked? | 19:25 |
__TOM | FYI I'm starting a live pilot very soon, just as a heads up since I've had this installed under demoware for quite some time sitting idle. | 19:26 |
nowen | it is not, but it is considered harder to get info off of it. obviously, that is a moving target. users certainly don't do it | 19:26 |
nowen | on those devices we can add stuff like location down the road | 19:27 |
__TOM | i see. okay thanks. | 19:28 |
