Description: System used to provide enhanced remote authentication, usually consisting of a server, some synchronization scheme, and a device, token, or smartphone application.

ImportantFeatures: May be connected via USB or other external connection to remote computer.
Some may not be connected, but simply generate a time-based, synchronized password.
Provides secure (encrypted) communication to network.


Operating Considerations: Battery life is critical for tokens not connected to a machine.
Carefully check compatibility with hardware/operating system/software suite to be used. May not be compatible with some applications, so that a different scheme might be necessary for initial login versus access to online application.
