Thanks to all who responded.  As requested by some, here is a summary of
responses.

SecurID / Kerberos
------------------
Work is being done by Sandia and Security Dynamics.  At present, re-synching
with beta2 is in progress.  

Contact:
	Bill Rahe		whrahe@somnet.sandia.gov
	Glenn Machin		gmachin@somnet.sandia.gov


The Open Computing Security Group has also started coding SecurID support,
contact:
	Bob Gassen		bobg@ocsg.com


Kerberos Public Key
-------------------

Again, the OCSG is working on RSA Public Key support, this is at design
stage.  Same contact as above.


Charlie Kaufman has also posted some info to the net a few days ago, that
info is not included in this summary.


The area I'm looking into specifically is management of the principal's keys
(in particular, for 'human-user' principals) using smart cards (with in-built 
DES or RSA facilities) to work in the OSF/DCE environment.

Anyone else out there doing any work in this area?

Mark
