Come on EMC/RSA And while you're at it port it to Mac OS X Still no RSA token generator for iPhone!! Come on EMC/RSA

And while you’re at it port it to Mac OS X

This way with one generator, hopefully on my iPhone, I could select which company I want to connect to from a menu when I start the software based SecurID and the generator would select the correct code sequence for that company, I would enter my PIN for that company and then enter the passcode into the VPN dialog for that company. All this would require, in my case, a token generator for the iPhone though :-( One solution for the problem of having mulitple SecurID hardware tokens would be to have one software token generator and different seed files.

I would like to write him a note concerning the SecureID token emulation, too. So if there are many mails, maybe it will find its way from the wish-list to the todo-list.

I beg your pardon, Matt. I was apparently wrong. I just got a note from the RSA product manager telling me that there is no SecurID token emulation package for the iPhone. RSA (for which I do some consulting) has such an app on its "product roadmap" -- but it's still on the wish-list! Mea culpa! The implementation guide I referred you to was for an iPhone agent which allows you to use a traditional SecurID hardware token to access a VPN with your iPhone. The problem you allude to -- a consumer forced to carry multiple tokens -- is difficult to address. Old timers in the industry call this the "necklace problem," which for me always conjures up an image of a Cargo Cult native dancing with a chain of SecurIDs around his neck. Getting multiple institutions to cooperate in an authentication network (so one token can give access to several networks) is politically difficult. _Vin Opps! I beg your pardon, Matt.

I've started to think of SecureID as a blanket concept which is clearly not accurate given it should describe a specific implementation of the concept. Matt Thanks for the clarification.
