Hi All,<br />
Were deploying a Terminal Server on Window 03 Enterprise very soon. My boss has asked me about using hard and soft access tokens for added security. She said she used to have a pager-like device that gave her a code she would enter along with username and password for authentication. This is all new to me. Can someone give me rundown on these technologies? Compatibility with Windows 03; manufacturers; complexity of use and setup, etc.<br />
<br />
TIA,<br />
Ron

Hard/Soft Access Token with Terminal Services

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
