We got a nice mention at the InfoSec Conference in Orlando by Matthew Luallen, president of consulting firm Sph3r3:

“The WiKiD Strong Authentication Server is a two-factor authentication server,” said Luallen, referencing ones he thought among the most useful . Among other great security tools there for the asking are SpamAssassin, which can identify spam, Splunk for log analysis, NTop for anomaly detection, TrueCrypt for encrypting data at rest, and the penetration-testing tool BackTrack. He said all are examples of useful security tools that companies should consider securing enterprise networks.
That's good company! We'll be sending Mathew the secret prize that everyone who mentions WiKID at a conference or in an article gets. It's very special and the only way to find out what it is is, of course, to mention WiKID (positively) in a speach or article.

Last week, I blogged about the flexibility of WiKID. Today, I want to apply that thinking to Kim Cameron’s Laws of Identity. How does WiKID’s flexibility support the Laws? Obviously, WiKID would only be a part of the identity system – the authentication piece. The question is how does WiKID enable this metatsystem to comply with the laws.

We realized that our current two-factor software token requires Java 1.6, which is not yet available on OS X. I've added links on the token download page to the last token client which supports Java 1.5 in a plain jar and as an installer jar. Apologies to any Mac users that had trouble with the token.
