Physical 'tokens' are coming
Its good to see that others are picking up on this trail. The card reader is an issue, although in the Netherlands I did see ABN Amro trial a version of this that was compact and generated a random number that could be entered much like the RSA keyfob.

This allowed the device to be used with multiple accounts with a single reader and multiple cards. I'm not sure how popular it was in the end (as this was about 5 years ago now!).

For interested readers, here is a post from a couple of days ago that highlights both approaches, and also links into some more detailed information about e-signatures, background and mechanisms: http://improving-nao.blogspot.com/2006/08/electronic-signatures-physical-tokens.html

Cheers

Phil
