Description:
pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary USB Flash Drives.
It works with any application supporting PAM, such as su, GDM, KDM, etc.
The pam_usb package contains a PAM module and several tools:
pamusb-agent: trigger actions, such as locking the screen, upon device authentication and
removal.
pamusb-conf: configuration helper.
pamusb-check: integrate pam_usb’s authentication engine within your scripts or
applications.
pam_usb-0.4.2 was completely rewritten from scratch, now it include support for HAL and
DBus and a new authentication model called One Time Pads, in addition to USB serial
number, model and vendor verifications.
Basically, a pad is just a bunch of random bytes stored on both the USB device and the
computer. Every time you authenticate, those pads are compared. If they match, access is
granted and the pads are regenerated, otherwise access is denied.
