RFID and secure access to systems

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I just purchased an RFID Yubikey for secure access to my password safe
LastPass, and I'm really liking it. I installed the Yubikey PAM module
to my Linux servers, allowing me to have multi-factor authentication
to my hosts.

This may be a good idea for us to offer members - an RFID Yubikey that
we could use for door access as well as access to the systems on our
network, maybe even the Wi-Fi.

Even if we use a different solution for the RFID, the Yubikey may be a
good idea for securing all our boxes - they're cheap, they're small,
and they're easy to use. They don't require any client software, and
they're not proprietary - the PAM and libraries are open source.
