Comments on: USB stick security suite puts squeeze on software

Great... now how about an Ethernet version?

USB is all very well, but what would be cool is an Ethernet version that works at 10/100/1000, doesn't require drivers - and can protect all the machines I have on my home network, not just one PC.

Drivers are so passé for stuff like this - Ethernet is an open standard, and works on any platform. It's also far less CPU-hungry than USB, as a lot of operations are accelerated by the average network card.

Portability a problem

What if someone walks off with the USB key? You better have a doberman guarding it. The idea sounds great but you need something in vitro.

Already have
