Recently do to moving on from Suncorp and moving to London to find contract work here, I have decided to continue experimenting with 2nd factor authentication i.e tokens and sms.
About a year ago at Suncorp we used to get what they like to call Google time which was two hours every tuesday and thursday morning to work on something that would help Suncorp or just use the time for development. I originally started using this time to look into Haptics Design, which interested me, even bough a device that I could experiment with. This was fun and helped learn a specific programming language of which I don't recall. Anyway as I was in the AIM team or Access & Identity Management team, I started picking up more and more, and interest in second factor authentication was born. Another team mate at the time bought and was experimenting with smart cards, so I looked up what could be done with OpenSSO, and found a cool module to do with finger print scanning, which to me sounded really cool. So I ordered a SecuGen Hamster IV, as the module and testing that securegen and sun had done was using that model, so thought best to keep to what was tested.
Will continue this later, must run to an appointment. :)
