Hi
Pros of Using a Hardware Token:
-Extracting shared key through reverse engg is not as easy and
involves higher cost compared to soft tokens.
-Works on different OS,Environments and no headache of downlaoding
,reinstalling.
-Operating life is higher for hardware token
-If tied well with CAP/DAP can be used for different services

Hello,
What are the pros and cons for using hardware RSA SecureID/Other and software
with the same characteristics?
For example:
http://www.rsa.com/node.aspx?id=1313
Let's say there's a company that allow only customers using the hardware
SecureID to connect its resources -
What might be the main arguments the company has to prefer the hardware and not
the software?
From the customer's point of view it's better to have software installed
(management, holding of multiple tokens, user usage etc)
