Security experts have long touted the need for financial Web sites to move
beyond mere passwords and implement so-called two-factor authentication --
the second factor being something

Thanks for the news about the planned NIST-sponsored hash function
competition. I'm glad to hear that it is in the works.
Yesterday I profiled my on-line data backup application [1] and
discovered that for certain operations one third of the time is spent in
SHA-1. For that reason,
