It would also likely include some kind of biometric, such as facial recognition. The combination would provide a 3 factor authentication scheme that would be very useful in the corporate environment where increasingly we work with people with whom we never shake hands. You are much less likely to lose your phone than an RSA token. Is anything like this on your radar screen?
