Yes, though it would depend on your wallet. When I worked at the European
Space Agency acces to the internal network from outside was by a
challenge/response system, where the response was generated by a device
about the size of a credit card size calculator. It wouldn't fit in my
wallet but that's only because there's too much cash there (I wish !) Given
the way in which ESA spends the European taxpayers' money I don't imagine
these devices were cheap/
