DESCRIPTION:Whether we’re a Playstation user logging into our account\, 
 a corporate executive accessing a cloud-held database\, an online banking 
 customer making a payment\, or simply an individual wanting to enter one o
 f the hundreds of thousands of sites offering ‘My Account’ areas – 9
 9.99% of the time we still enter user-name and password to log in. Yet the
  evidence is piling up that passwords are passé. They can be cracked\, ph
 ished\, key-logged etc\, and once compromised can allow a hacker to come a
 nd go without detection. So what can we replace them with? Tokens or other
  hardware creating one-time codes are a partial answer\, but will never ca
 ter for large user-bases due to costs and provisioning problems\, and the 
 recent RSA data leak has shaken confidence. By the same ‘token’ biomet
 rics have failed to catch on and always require a reader to hand (often li
 terally!). Clearly the world needs something cheap\, portable\, sustainabl
 e\, hardware-less\, re-settable and simple-yet-strong\, to replace passwor
 ds. It needs to be capable of generating OTPs which can be given out over 
 the web or phone\, without providing a criminal with anything they can re-
 use. Jonathan Craymer will explain how pin+ - while not claimed to be a pa
 nacea for all identity management and access problems - could well fit the
  bill and how it surpasses all other ‘graphical’ systems currently ava
 ilable.
