The latest WiKID version includes an SBOM

As of 6.2 and 5.4, we are including an SBOM in the WiKID RPM. It is located in /opt/WiKID.  We have embedded the process in our build system so we can quickly see if any of the libraries we use have any known vulnerabilities.  Needless to say, this greatly enhances the security of our product.  Even if you never look at the SBOM file, we do! 

WiKID 6 is released!

We are pleased to announce the release of Version 6 of the WiKID Strong Authentication server.  The new ISO is based on Rocky 9.  It offers unparalleled security and scalability.  All the supporting packages for WIKID have been upgraded as well.

Log4j CVE-2021-44228

We are fairly confident that we are not vulnerable to the Log4J bug, but we will be releasing an update soon with an updated version of Log4J.  Stay tuned.

Questions about 2FA for AD admins

We've recently had more questions about deploying WiKID for two-factor authentication for AD admins to thwart potential privilege escalation in ransomware attacks.  We've done a proof-of-concept showing that WiKID can make privilege escalation quite difficult.  We realized that we missed a key question about deploying two-factor authentication for admins:  how do I know I won't lock out all my admins?  That's a damn good question.  And here's the answer:

WiKID Android tokens had their data deleted over the weekend by Google Chrome bug

If you woke up Monday morning to a number of upset and confused Anroid token users, we apologize.  We did too.  Over the weekend Google released an update the Chrome that included a bug that deleted other app's localstorage.  Unfortunately, the data is gone.  The users will need to be re-registered.  The new version was rolled out to 50% of Android users.  Google is still working on a fix.  They are not sure if the user data can be restored. We will update as we learn more.
