reports Intel is cooperation with security companies Symantec and Vasco to develop a hardware-based one-time-password system to increase protection against fraudsters, phishers and identity thieves.

"We've taken the notion of a one-time password that generates a dynamic code every 30 seconds and we've embedded it into the chipset," Gilburg says, "into the [manageability engine] of the 2nd Generation Intel Core and Core vPro. This is brand new technology; Intel is the first to do this."
