Hi Baskar,
RSA allows you to download, free, the software app used for SecurID
token emulation on a Windows Mobile 2003 directly from the RSA website
at: <http://tinyurl.com/947me>.
Of course, to use one of these "soft tokens" to actually authenticate
to an RSA Authentication Manager, your site must also purchase a
digitally-signed SecurID "seed," from RSA or an RSA reseller, and load
it on both your PDA and the RAM server.
A SecurID software token emulates the SecurID "PinPad" hardware token,
so to use it your token-holder will input his PIN directly into the PDA
and the SecurID app will then generate a two-factor "token-code." This
offers some additional protection for the PIN in any unexcrypted
environment, but like any software file, the PDA SecurID code
ultimately relies on the user to protect it. It's probably obvious,
but the PIN is never stored within the PDA.
There is a PDF file describing both the RSA hardware tokens and RSA's
software SecurIDs available at: <http://tinyurl.com/e3jk4>.
I'm a consultant to RSA. Hope this is what you are looking for. If it
isn't, feel free to ask more questions (or hit on RSA's Customer
Support folks yourself).
Surete,
_Vin
