I just had a bunch of RSA tokens land in my lap.
What's required on the other end of an RSA authentication scheme, and what's a good resource for learning what's necessary to implement it?

I have noticed that there seems to be a split between some banks/financial institutions who maintain complex security around their on-line account access and others who seem to have actively migrated towards a much simpler approach. Is there any evidence that the "simple" approach is either more or less secure than the "complex" one?

Why are many financial institutions moving to a two-step login process, where you enter your username on one page and then your password on the next? For instance,
Vanguard and
ING. Their rationale is just that it's "more secure", but that's not much of a reason.

I'd like to get a handle on computer security. Where should I start? I'd like to stress that I am NOT talking about spyware and viruses here, but the more interesting things like authentication and authorization.
