Hello all,
I am trying to implement a simple autenthication module for Windows using an iButton. The ideea is that the user cannot log in and use Windows unless the proper iButton is inserted in an external reader (connected to the PC via a serial interface, for example). I have some Windows programming experience, yet I'm clueless about how the autenthication application should be implemented on Windows. It probably must be something like a low-level kernel driver (to make it really hard to bypass), but what kind of driver? Or is it an easier way to do this? If anybody has any pointers about how this thing can be implemented please let me know.
