Weird

Well, it is of marginal relevance. Security token generators made by
Security Dynamics and others are manufactured in several physical
forms. While the credit-card-calculator type is most common, there
is a version that can attach to a keychain and is often called a key
fob.
Since RADIUS and TACACS support Security Dynamics, etc., there is a
little relevance.
