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 16 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.

What is the base architecture of WiKID Authentication?

Posted by: root 16 years, 4 months ago

WiKID Strong Authentication consists of two main elements, the WiKID Strong Authentication Server  and the WiKID Two-factor Client for user devices. The WiKID Strong Authentication Server interfaces with various Network Clients, such as firewalls, VPN services, Citrix, directories or applications via Protocol Modules, such as RADIUS, LDAP, SMB or the WiKID Authentication Protocol, an SSL-encapsulated API for web-enabled application integration.

When a user wants to login,say to a VPN service, they enter a PIN into the WiKID Software token client, it is encrypted by the public key of the WiKID server and sent to the server. If the encryption is valid, the PIN is correct and the account is active, the server returns the one-time passcode encrypted by the Client's public key. The user then enter their username and one-time passcode into the VPN client. The VPN service forwards the credentials to the WiKID server via a protocol such as Radius for validation.
