| Aug 15, 2011 at 19:36 | comment | added | dr jimbob | I don't think they would be part of the best solution: bring hardware you can trust. I guess they can be part of the next best alternative of booting into an OS off a live cd/usb that you brought and can trust. Otherwise its a very weak layer of security, like changing your ssh port to 1022 while leaving an login/password combination of root/root valid; or thinking you are safe from MITM attacks using https without a CA signed certificate. | |
