Secure ID sounds like this snip a product called "Secure ID" was being used to restrict unauthorized access. Pac Bell employees had to use a tiny card that contained a unique algorithm synchronized with a computer. Every thirty seconds the card would create a new random number, and if the number didn't match up with the computer, the holder was denied access. snip And there was something else that Kevin had told me years ago. He had stolen a manual to Secure ID and hinted that for him the miracle card Pac Bell was counting on to protect its systems was no more than a difficult password, hardly a challenge for an elite hacker. snip Kevin = Kevin Poulsen
