Let me start by saying I feel Bruce Schneier is one of the most knowledgable people in the security field and his site is a very good source of info.
I am just wondering why he rarely suggests a solution to the problem, instead of tearing down every little advance that is made?
He should use his knowledge and position of influence to drive viable solutions to our security problems.
Sure two-factor authentication isn't perfect, but it WILL mitigate a lot of the issues we have today.
If your Credit Card number, personal info and website login are compromised, unless it's used before your token changes it's random code (usually every 30 minutes), the info is useless to a would be hacker. The same is true for any phishing schemes.
The real issue is what happens when hackers break into the token authentication system. |
