this is mostly about electronic ID smartcards in Europe, but security tokens used by poker rooms might be affected as well. anyone have info if PS tokens use Infineon hardware?

Well, you still need the password, the user name and the correct RSA device number and the 4 digit personal identification number. And Stars has also the protection that by using a new computer you will get an SMS number before you can proceed. So that makes five security measures to break. I believe in Stars

This isn't what you seem to think it is. This issue relates to how smart cards work, not to how RSA Security Tokens work.

An implementation of the RSA algorithm is what is at issue, and whereas the security tokens are made by the company RSA. They're not the same thing - the only connection is that both are named after the same trio of security guys.



To use a metaphor from the physical world: a sub-section of some door locks with keys can be examined after a couple of days analysis. A hacker can then use that analysis to create a key that unlocks the door lock. The RSA Security Token in this metaphor is a combination lock, which has no relationship or connection with the broken key locks.
