Any authentication products in there? Maybe they'd be ripe to acquire SDTI now that it's so cheap. : )

Moonfather, NETA has a pretty extensive list, I know. Authentication might not be a bad idea, but I have a feeling that authentication, and some other related solutions will be built into pc's by intc and msft... typically, software firms are reluctant to add hardware to their company because it lowers margins... but in this case, i think it might be warranted... You cannot achieve the same quality, speed, or security on software that you can on dedicated hardware (or hybrid hardware/software) solutions... I don't see the software firewall/VPN solution being a winner long term.... Encryption companies are tough to integrate though because the stuff is so damn complex... especially the hardware...
