- exikyut 5y agoHa, cool. How many tokens did you ever see at once? :D Presumably PayPal were intending to do an app + hardware module - or was this essentially "LeT's MaNaGe RSA KeYs UsInG NoN MeMoRy PrOtEcTeD CoMmOdItY HaRdWaRe RuNnInG a NoN SaNdBoXeD KeRnEl"?
- bluedino 5y agoAccording to _Founders at Work_, they just reverse-engineered the keys and emulated them on a Palm Pilot
