My ‘Random’ Reader

Monday, March 30th, 2009

I have a peculiar relationship to my Rabobank Random Reader digipass. On one hand, I view it as a one-time pad and get really annoyed with myself when I have to login again just after logging out , as I feel that it ‘burns’ another key. On the other hand, it appears that it is one a one time pad system, as I have to enter transaction amounts into the device when generating a key to authorize a bank transfer. The each generated key is larger than the previous one and they seem to increment on some sort of scale. Naturally, this means I also want to try to reverse engineer the algorithm used to generate the keys.

So, as you can see, I think about my Random Reader too much.

Had a great time at Picnic today. Met tons of great people, including the head of a top ad agency in Russia, a cinematographer for Survivor and just about the whole Dopplr team. Awesome! Tomorrow I’m part of the Hot100 program.
