Hardware Token Definition: A hardware token is a physical device that generates and stores secure authentication credentials for users to access systems and data, providing an additional layer of security beyond traditional passwords.
A hardware token is a physical device that is used for authentication and provides an additional layer of security. It generates one-time passwords or cryptographic keys that are used to access a system or network. Hardware tokens are considered more secure than software-based authentication methods because the cryptographic keys are stored on the physical device and are less susceptible to hacking or unauthorized access.
Hardware Token is one of the topics you'll master in the Security+ Boot Camp.
