Abstract

Methods and apparatus for encoding and decoding data transmitted acoustically and/or optically to strong authentication tokens to generate dynamic security values are disclosed. The tokens may also include a selection mechanism to select either an acoustical or an optical input interface to receive data. A communication interface may be provided to communicate with a removable security device such as a smart card and the token may be adapted to generate dynamic security values in cooperation with the removable security device.
