This Ghost site is now the canonical home for this material. But you should only go to see it there if you want a laugh about how silly websites looked then. It's a time capsule now.

The coolest stuff I saw on the show floor at RSA:

1\. Validus had an OTP card with a biometric built in all in the credit card form factor (http://validustech.com/index.cfm)

2\. Aveksa, hiding out in the Novell booth, had a very slick entitlement audit and role management system with a nice demo (http://www.aveksa.com/)

3\. The NSA had a booth and was giving away an awesome cipher game book. My daughter and I will be hacking away at that for a while, I’m sure.

4\. Not technically on the show floor, but I got a chance to sit with someone from Bitarmor and they made me think encryption at rest could really be viable (http://www.bitarmor.com/)

5\. Arcsight was giving away a smart car. And I thought our $5000 prize was big!
