Of course it didn't pan out, you can only do a project like this on a budget of 20-50K. Beyond that budget everyone will focus on engineering it to work with every authentication system ever, rather than creating a simple USB HID device that types a username, the tab key, a password, and presses enter. Problem: Users cant remember their passwords. Actual Solution: Device that stores and recalls their passwords. Engineering Solution: A bunch of crypto stuff, tempest hardening, pen testing, some more crypto, a provably secure RNG, 3 different interfaces and drivers to integrate the device with Linux, OSX, and Windows crypto systems, a bunch more user installable software for 3 platforms, tamper resistant chips, etc.
