Hi, folks.
I am looking for an interface to those gizmos compute passwords. You
enter your PIN-code into a credit-card sized calculator-like thing, it
encrypts the PIN-code and time of the day with a secret key. This
gives an ever-changing password not vulnerable to eavesdropping or
looking-over-the-shoulder.
I do have both the card and the software.
It seems to me that when running enhanced security it is possible to:
1) write my own set of siad_*() functions that call the authentication
software provided with the cards.
2) Enlist those routines by means of the matrix.conf file
If that is done successfully, everything from ftp, rlogin and telnet
to login, su and xdm will behave accordingly.
As the documentation, the "security" manual is very shallow I would
like to hear from anybody who might have been working with the SIA
interface or know of helpful documentation.
Yours,
Lars Bro, DSC Communications, lab_at_dscc.dk
