- pam\_usb
- ========
-
- pam\_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary USB Flash Drives.
-
- It works with any application supporting PAM, such as _su_ and login managers (_GDM_, _KDM_).
-
- Features
- --------
-
- * `Password-less authentication.` Use your USB stick for authentication, don't type passwords anymore.
- * `Device auto probing.` You don't need to mount the device, or even to configure the device location (_sda1_, _sdb1_, etc). pam\_usb.so will automatically locate the device using `UDisks` and access its data by itself.
- * `Two-factor authentication.` Achieve greater security by requiring both the USB stick and the password to authenticate the user.
- * `Non-intrusive.` pam\_usb doesn't require any modifications of the USB storage device to work (no additional partitions required).
- * USB Serial number, model and vendor verification.
- * Support for **One Time Pads** authentication.
- * You can use the same device across multiple machines.
- * Support for all kind of removable devices (SD, MMC, etc).
-
- 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.
