Tokens?????

Which of the following is not a token?


a. In networking, a token refers to a series of bits that circulate on a token-ring network. When one of the systems on the network has the "token". it can send information to the other computers. Since therer is only one token for each token-rink network, only one computer at a time can send data.





b. In programming, a token is a single element of a programming language. Some example of programming tokens are reserved words, punctuation marks, and operators.





c. Those small copper coins that allow you to play video games.





d. In security systems, a token is a small card that displays an ID code which can be used to log into a network. The card user enters a password which causes the card to display the current ID needed to log into the network. The token adds an extra security level to the network because the IDs change every five minutes or so.





e. Both B and C.

Tokens?????
I'll give it a shot:





A) is a true statement in itself, but token are not limited to token-ring networks. btw, if your company still uses token-ring, please get out of the technology stone age :)





B) is a true and a false statement. In most high level program languages you can define your tokens to be anything you want. But it is true that reserves words and operators can be tokens.





C) is 100% true, ahh the good old days of arcade games at the mini golf place





D) I am assuming you are referring to a VPN (or VPN type) network. If you mean a physical security system, then you got me on this one. If VPN, then this is also true and false. On my company's FOB it does say Token-Generator for XXXX, but I have a client who's FOB calls it an IntelliKey. Go figure.
