im looking to secure our rds server by using smartcards as two factor auth.

has anybody got any recommendation on the hardware / cards which would be best for this, as im struggling to find any info on the subject
 
Personally, I'd steer clear of smartcards since there is the extra overhead of maintaining readers for them.

Just use a different kind of hardware token like the RSA SecureID. You can even ditch the hardware keyfob and go with a software only solution, installing the keycode generator on Blackberry/Andorid/iPhone etc.
 
We use tokens now, but I much prefered it when we used Identrica for 2FA.

You just call a number on your mobile and it sends a token to your server.

I understand we switched because it was more expensive in the long term due to the annual subscription rather than the one off costs of the tokens and server software. We have hundreds of users - I suspect for smaller numbers it may stack up.
