Adam is a Security Analyst for Umbrella Inc. The company CEO directs him to implement two-factor authentication so employees can access the network. The CEO says he wants to use a hardware device together with a security or identification PIN. Adam considers smart cards, but they are not cost-effective. Which type of hardware device will Adam use to implement two-factor authentication?
