Someone's not paying attention ... When WWW browsers are available at hotels and airports, as they surely will be, then accessing ones email via www will be commonplace. This can be called "world wide web e-mail". And of course you wouldn't want to carry around a list of s/keys, would you?, so what better way to authorise the connection than with an iButton? (Answer: An iButton with a user interface, perhaps a watch?)
