Hi everyone,

YubiKey seems too good to be true to me. Regardless of all the
positive articles online, the only thing I've seen from a somewhat
reputable source is that Yubico was a finalist for the "Most
Innovative Company At RSA Conference 2009" contest - which it didnt
win. Otherwise, its all been misc blog posts and various other
commentaries from sources that I dont particularly trust, nor did they
show a thoughtful analysys of the product as a true second-factor
authentication device.

On the negative, the only honest analysis of its flaws I have seen, is
from Fredrik Björck, here:

I would love to hear some honest commentary and thoughts from the
security experts that I *do* trust, that are on this list.

Thank you very much for your time - its very much appreciated!
