SimpyWiKID Commercial Open Source Two-Factor Authentication
The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a dual-source, software-based two-factor authentication system designed to be less expensive and more extensible than hardware tokens.
Fundamentally, WiKID Strong Authentication works this way: A user selects the WiKID domain they wish to use on their token client. The user is prompted for the PIN for that domain. It is encrypted with the WiKID Server's public key - assuring that only that server can decrypt it with its private key - and sent to the WIKID server. If the server can decrypt the PIN and it is correct and the account is active, it generates the one-time passcode (OTP) and encrypts it with the client's public key. The user then enters their username and the OTP into whatever service they are using, a VPN, website, etc., which forwards it to the WiKID Server for validation using Radius, TACACS+, LDAP or through our wAuth API for custom applications.

Features and Benefits
There are a number of benefits to using WiKID for two-factor authentication:
| > Seat licensing means no charges for lost or missing tokens. |
| > Each user can have more than one token. |
| > Built-in mutual https authentication increased web-application and SSL-VPN security. |
| > Each token can work with more than one domain across more than one server. |
| > WiKID is like certificates with the extra step of validating a PIN on the server, increasing security and eliminating management hassles. It can be extended to do any PKI-type functionality. |
| > See how WiKID is less expensive than other forms of two-factor authentication |
| > Why WiKID is simple to implement and maintain |
| > WiKID is as secure as traditional key fob tokens |
