Re: [Full-Disclosure] One-Time Pad Authentication

SSH, or whatever).

You don't actually mean a one-time pad, do you? Sounds like you're referring to a one-time token authentication system, especially since you mention SecurID. (I mention this because a few responses are reacting to you mentioning an OTP, but I don't think that's what you meant.)
