This isn't a substitute for having good physical security. If someone can get to your machine, they can get in.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fsckus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 9:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Raritan intros smart card-reading KVM switch system]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/raritan-intros-smart-card-reading-kvm-switch-system/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/raritan-intros-smart-card-reading-kvm-switch-system/</guid><description><![CDATA[This unit is just a remote KVM head unit (looks to be IP based) with a backend unit that actually connects to the machine.  So the video from the machine that you receive is actually coming over the network port.  The machine you are accessing could actually be anywhere in the world, probably locked away in a secure room.  Think of it like a thin client that you would use to terminal service into a machine.  We use a similar system at work so that we don't have to constantly badge into our server room to admin a box...but a little card reader to secure our access head units would be cool...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Juke Box Hero]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 10:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Raritan intros smart card-reading KVM switch system]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/raritan-intros-smart-card-reading-kvm-switch-system/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/raritan-intros-smart-card-reading-kvm-switch-system/</guid><description><![CDATA[The raritans (I used them when I worked at my previous job for a large gov entity) are IP based.  All of the servers are connected to a master raritan switch, which then connects to the raritan consoles on users desks via your ip network.  It would take getting to the server to do what you described, which would not be easy.  Additionally, based on HSPD12, the card reader passes your credentials to the server, the server authenticates the user.  What this particular device allows, is the ability to be able to use the common access cards remotely rather then having to sit in front of the machine.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[engadget.com]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 11:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Raritan intros smart card-reading KVM switch system]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/raritan-intros-smart-card-reading-kvm-switch-system/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/raritan-intros-smart-card-reading-kvm-switch-system/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ah, now I get it.  CAC authentication to servers works fine with ActiveClient and Win 2K3 servers over RDP.  This will get you CAC on the console.  Maybe HP will build this into their iLo boards in the future.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bushrod]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 11:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Raritan intros smart card-reading KVM switch system]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/raritan-intros-smart-card-reading-kvm-switch-system/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/raritan-intros-smart-card-reading-kvm-switch-system/</guid><description><![CDATA[There are a lot of solutions that could/do help prevent terrorism(I'm not sure how this device really plays a roll in that btw) that doesn't automatically make them GOOD solutions, or solutions that are worthy of implementing.
