Project description:
A OneFob is a security device.  It is a virtual device that is intended to be hosted on common everyday hardware devices like cell phones, PDA's and solid state entities such as flash-cards or USB drives.  It has many similarities and functions analogous to a Smart Card.  Smart Cards provide a very secure hardware token but the technology is very bare-bones and complicated; it is complicated to implement applications; the devices themselves and the specialized hardware they require are not readily available or easy to install; they have limited computational ability; they have very limited memory capacities; they have a relatively high price point; and, in the end, are not completely impervious to being compromised.

Our core premise is that all the functions and benefits of a Smart Card can be implemented on more common devices, reducing the number of gadgets a individual must carry on their person.  Furthermore, implementing the security device with common, off-the-shelf hardware devices provides the greatest flexibility for the user in terms of memory capacity and "other" functions that compliment the user's daily activities.
