- NTT Labs, for SASSO - a mobile-phone based strong authentication module;

It's fascinating to see these things developing over the course of a couple of years, and having had the privilege of being on the judging panel both years, I'm gratified and impressed at the way in which, on the one hand, leading-edge technology has evolved into large-scale implementations, while on the other hand, innovation continues and new implementation opportunities continue to open up.
Innovation begets innovation...
