Company is working to make devices like cell phones and PDAs double as user authentication devices.

Why can't devices just know? Why do I have to do anything?

I don't have to log onto HBO. It's still too cumbersome for comsumers.

A vast difference

Does your cable or satellite box have access to your checking account? Or your credit card info?

Or, in the normal usage for these items, does your cable/sat box allow you to access confidential data on your employer's corporate network?

Unlike your cable/sat box where only very minimal damage can be caused by someone using it who isn't authorized to do so (watching a bunch of PPV movies) someone who had easy access to your employer's corporate network or your bank account information could cause thousands, if not millions, in damages.

RSA is the early leader before the 2006 security shakeout

RSA is the early leader before the 2006 security shakeout

RSA is touted as the be all and end all of US online security companies and its product line is impressive I might say in advance.

RSA bought Cyota that failed to bring to market the single use credit card number that was patented by inventor, Mr. Jeffrey Ice.

RSA does not have within its impressive IP armory all or even some of the best solutions to security in the marketplace.

This year 2006 will decide whom is whom in this security marketplace.
