VPN endpoint with built-in cardreader |
|
|
Hi,
Does anyone know of a VPN endpoint with an embedded smart card reader
which can be deployed on computers where a software vpn is not a
solution ?
Thanks,
Alok. |

I'd go for a small, ancient computer with something like OpenBSD on it.
Get something that has drivers, or write your own.

Perhaps the OP could give a little more info as to what he's looking for?
An extra computer with Open source and an app on it isn't anything like what
I envivsioned he was after...

Just as a hint - if you could find something that reads whatever cards
you need and fits in one of the provided slots, a Soekris
(www.soekris.com) might work. It is well supported by, at least,
OpenBSD. And OpenBSD makes a fine firewall, router, &c - it won't allow
the end-user to turn too many knobs, but that's as likely to be a good
thing as it is to be a liability.
And if you don't want to mess with people's home networks, just drop it
in bridge mode and configure a fancy IPsec tunnel.
Pretty much the same should be doable using linux or FreeBSD, according
to the site, but I'd never heard from them before I read
misc@openbsd.org for a while, so I can not vouch for linux or FreeBSD
stability.
I have no personal experience with them, but they'd provide a stable
platform to build upon...

Could we get the OP to post the original problem and perhaps some additional
details and constraints? There are lots of ways to get software clients to
use token authentication, perhaps a slightly different approach will be
fruitful.
