There are two things to keep in mind when discussing two-factor authentication:citrix-and-security
Posted by: admin 15 years, 3 months ago
PDP has recently pointed out how easy it is to hack into poorly configured Citrix servers, which can easily be found via Google et al. He's also posted information on how to hack Citrix in a more forceful way. So, it is a good thing that we've posted documentation on how to protect Citrix with WiKID two-factor authentication. Also, yesterday, I posted a similar how-to document for protecting for GoToMyPC Corporate.

“The premise is that site-authentication images increase security because customers will not enter their passwords if they do not see the correct image,” said Stuart Schechter, a computer scientist at the M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory. “From the study we learned that the premise is right less than 10 percent of the time.”The article also points out that perceived user convenience is more important than security:
Banks immediately knew what they did not want to do: ask customers to download new security software, or carry around hardware devices that feed them PIN codes they can use to authenticate their identities. Both solutions would add an extra layer of security but, the banks believed, detract from the convenience of online banking.This is a problem, though, because their opponent is more than willing to install software on the user's computers. Moreover, they are willing to attack an ISP's computers in the middle. This asymmetry will cause problems for financial institutions.
