I need to host stuff for a financial institution on EC2. The bank wants complete Two Factor Authentication so Stuff like having SSH with a key with password. Something like SecureID or similar would be great. How can I effectively create two factor authentication across SSH to my EC2 environment?

Also could I consider OpenVPN as part of the Two Factor encyption?

With duo_unix, you can add two-factor authentication for any SSH login method, and with the Duo OpenVPN integration, you can add two-factor authentication to OpenVPN.
