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.

Updates-on-the-blog-the-extranet-WiKID-etc

I have ended the experiment of using anonymous two-factor authentication as a turing test. I don't know for sure if it kept people from posting, but I did get at least one whiny email from a potential commenter saying he didn't have time to sign up for WiKID just to post to my lame blog. I won't say who it was, but I guess your new paymaster must keep you pretty busy, though you seem to have enough time for your own side projects. I have implemented a standard captcha instead.

isp-movement

We've switched ISPs for some of our servers. If you have issues with the extranet and the various pages we have set up for testing the software tokens, that is why. We are still working out some of the kinks.

With apologies to Friends of Distinction: An article I wrote for Howtoforge has made the front page of Digg. So can you digg it. baby?

downtime-expected

We're moving offices tomorrow (9/11/08) and expect to have some downtime while we migrate the servers. We will be down from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM EDT. Thanks for your patience. This will affect mail and the certificate servers.
