Refer to the Media Lab "Amulet" project, i.e. the Wireless Universal Key.
While the professor rummaged in his pockets I hopefully imagined a tidy little lozenge like the old SecureIDs. Seeing the actual artifact, it occurred to me that cultural resistance to inelegant visual/physical design might trump other constraints to a system's adoption. (The Amulet is kinda big. I don't want to wear one around my neck -- which is where my magical mind expects to put an amulet.)
