Hi folks,

Due to PCI DSS, and since we aren't using hardware security modules for our key storage, I need to make a paticular server require 2 people before login is allowed.

An example would be maybe 2 smartcards for login? Or 2 passwords?

I am already going to encrypt the key database with truecrypt that requires 2 keys to open (These keys are given to 2 different people). However, after the inital boot up and both truecrypt keys are inserted, the system needs defence from a single person logging in and browsing the contents.


Any ideas on how I could achieve this would be appreciated

Thanks

That is quite odd its required by PCI DSS.

Can you tell me what the system is used for and why exactly you believe 2 people should approve access to this system ?
