General trading is stupid but I wouldn't mind if they built a corp system into mechlab so I can only trade items with those in my corp/clan. This could come in handy once the repair/re-arm systems are put in place.

Auths cannot be hacked. They use the same logic as high security facilities uses. Such as VPN's for importan business, they use a random algorith to general a hexadecimal randomly every 15 secs and changes such algorith every now and then.

It's not random, it's the very opposite, highly predictable. However, to be hacked someone needs to know both the algorithm and the key that the device and server share for this account. The number generated is based on time, date and that key (which is integral to the hardware or written into your app), which is how the server is able to authenticate it.
