Just a quick couple of WiKID updates:

There is a great post on DigitalID World by Eric Nolan about the recent FFIEC guidelines regarding two-factor authentication being a driver for the strong authentication market, much as other compliance rules have boosted the identity management marketplace. It is a very inciteful article and worth the read. I have some comments though:

wikid-tricks-for-your-thumb-drive


It's all about thumb drives these days. In particular, today. I spent a lot of time today talking to one our our OEM partners about where they ordered custom logo USB drives for one of their customers so I could get a quote for one of our prospects who also wants custom logo USB drives for an online banking application. Now, I see that we have a small mention in 12 Tricks To Teach Your USB Thumb Drive (#9). I'm not sure it's accurate, though. It seems to suggest that you can secure your PC with WiKID. Really, WiKID is a form of two-factor authentication meant to help secure network based communications services such as VPNs and websites. The article mentions that, but I think it's a bit unclear. WiKID can be used to add two-factor authentication to GoToMyPC but only their corporation version using radius, which also means using our Enterprise version.

Will the WiKID token run on a USB Token?

Yes. It can run on any USB drive and because we use asymmetric keys and the key pairs will be generated on the USB drive, the distribution of tokens is much easier. Any user can get any fresh USB drive and use it.
