authentication token

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

A security device given to authorized users who keep them in their possession. To log into the network, the security "card" or "token" may be read directly like a credit card, or it may display a changing number that is typed in as a password. The latter has also been implemented entirely in software. Tokens may also plug directly into the computer via a USB port. See SecurID card, challenge/response, authentication and security protocol.
