Why we have to boycott RSA
RSA is a subsidiary of EMC. This means that a boycott of Greenplum, Pivotal, VMWare, Isilon, Mozy, and MANY others would probably be included.I just don't see an effective boycott of this scale happening -- especially when most of their customers just care about the product cost and benefit. Also, it can probably be argued that trying to secure your systems against a targeted intrusion from the NSA using technical means is pointless and a waste of money (throwing money at the EFF might be more effective).Having said that, is there an good alternative to SecureID? The only thing that seems to come close is CRYPTOCard, but it looks like they have closer ties with the NSA than RSA does. A yubikey also looks nice, but I don't like how it needs to be plugged in as a keyboard -- a device that is kept physically separated from the login machine would be ideal. OTP apps on a multi-purpose device (mobile phone) also isn't something I consider to be secure.
