The use of a second factor to increase the security of systems is growing and has continued to do so for a long time. This thesis explores options for implementation to use a YubiKey as an authentication method (OTP) as well as for signing digital transactions through a web browser client. Measures of network overhead that occurs in conjunction with Digital Signing of transactions are also disclosed. Our findings show that YubiKey provides flexible and readily available solutions that can be used with only small implementations for OTP authentication. It is also shown that the major concern for implementing a solution for a web browser is to intuitively use certificates stored on a USB-device without installing any plugins or with the use of a third-party application running on the client machine.
