Modify Remote Login server to block scripted attacks
Authored by: j-beda on Feb 11, '05 10:07:21AM
The downside of this is that you will only be able to connect from machines that have previously provided their public keys to the server. This is fine if you're always traveling with your laptop. It's not so great if you've got to use a lab of public machines, or you're renting some computer time in an airport, etc. Personally, I was willing to give up this flexibility for a bit of added security, but you'll have to make this decision for yourself.

You might be able to carry along a USB drive or key fob or something like that with the necessary PGP keys.

The best place to keep your key is on your new iPod Shuffle. Always handy that way.
