Just a quick couple of WiKID updates:

Posted by: admin 15 years, 3 months ago
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
Posted by: admin 15 years, 3 months ago
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.

According to the Register the recent 'defacement' of Zone-H was really a DNS hijacking. While it is not clear how the attackers took control of the domain, it points out the DNS system is not a reliable security mechanism. It is less likely that an attacker would get contorl of a major financial institution's DNS registration (or is it?), but DNS-cache poisoning is very likely.
Do you also offer a hardware token?
