about a user. Like a smart card or biometric reader, it is used to
authenticate the owner to a computer.
Virtual token—Security feature that works very much like a
smart card and reader. The token is saved either on the computer
hard drive or in the Windows registry. When you log on with a
virtual token, you are asked for a user PIN to complete the
authentication.
