Symantec has begun to replace its global fleet of RSA SecurID tokens following its acquisition of VeriSign's Authentication Services last year.

The swap comes in the wake of the high-profile breach of RSA tokens in March, although the company said it already had planned to "eat its own cookie" and  dump RSA for Versign's Public Key Infrastructure platform.

The SecurID token system, used globally by Symantec, was compromised in a multi-pronged attack this year, forcing RSA to replace the keys for some affected customers and offer security services to others. "There has been a long-running transition to Versign since the acqusition," Symantec said.
