I am looking to see what is the "state of the art", and what is on other people's radar screens. I would like to go to a smartcard or USB token, so that it can hold the campus credentials, getting away from password files, and passwords going over the net. I also like the ability of a smartcard to be something that people take with them. However, we have a whole lot of card swipe solutions on campus. I know that I can lay a mag stripe on a smartcard, and laminate on the photo. That seems to be a good interim solution. But I want to look a few years out. What do people have?
