Pegasos to target different markets : Comment 47 of 51 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gz on 16-Aug-2002 20:34 GMT | In reply to Comment 25 (cOrpse): >>Number one reason smartcards are insecure is : they're Physical objects and can be lost , stolen and misused like for example a set of keys.
Well so are bank cards, visa cards, mastercards, gasoline cards etc...
Yet people have been living their lives quite normally and pretty safe with them for over a decade now. I couldn't help but getting a feeling you just wanted to find something negative to say about the product because it's from the "non amiga inc" people.
As for stuff getting lost, you can lose pretty much anything anyway such as keys, money, socks, cats, dogs, ostridges, your penis if not careful enough etc. It's not the fault of the product and therefore shouldn't be critisized for it.
Personally Im not interested in getting a card reader for a computer, but I can see why some people would fancy one. It's an ok idea. |
