Security on a stick is the tongue-in-cheek reference given to a new device IBM has placed on display at the Cebit tradeshow this week. The device, called ZTIC (one Trusted Information Channel), is a USB-sized device that encompasses a smartcard reader and visual display with the aim of curbing banking fraud. ZTIC was developed by a team of researchers from IBM's Zurich Research Lab. What it does is add an extra layer of security, which IBM hopes to entice banks into purchasing for customers.
