Description:
On most system you must enter a password to verify your identity. Users choose often unsafe passwords and entering passwords is annoying. It exists alternatives (fingerprint, chipcards) but they cost money.
So my Idea can used on (nearly) all comuters and is for the most users free.
Here it is:
Verifying the Identity with a normal USB flash drive. Instead of entering a username and password, the User plug in a USB flash drive. When it's plugged in, the KDM looks for a file where the key is stored. With this key and a uid of the flash drive (if a flash drive has one, i don't know it, if not a id of size, manufactor, product name or sth.) the KDM create a new key. If the key complies with the one that is saved on the computer, the user the is linked with the key will be logged in. (The User have also a normal password, for the tty, ssh, ...)
I think this can also used for the screensaver and kwalletmanager.
I created a little mockup. You can view it in your browser. It's optimized for Firefox (or all other who using the Gecko Rendering Engine). You can view it in Konqueror, but it looks not so cool. :)
