Hate passwords? We are pleased to announce that we've released an open
source version
of the WiKID Strong Authentication System.. The project website is
here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wikid-twofactor/
Here is a brief overview what we have released:
>> The WiKID Strong Authentication OSS server
>> A J2SE WiKID token client
>> Initial validation scripts (ASP) for automating new user additions
>> The windows dll network client component (for ASP apps, e.g.)
>> The java network client component (for jsp apps, e.g.)
>> Example jsp script for use writing your own WiKID protected jsp pages
>> TACACS+ and Openldap network clients - with more on the way
The WiKID Strong Authentication Systems is a robust, flexible, scalable
and secure two-factor authentication platform. Features include:
>> Easy to use web-based management
>> Replication for fault-tolerance
>> Highly scalable architecture
>> Each server supports multiple security domains pointed at difference
network resources
>> Each client supports of multiple domains - across multiple servers
>> Each user can have multiple clients in different locations
>> Configure passcode lifetime, PIN length, max bad PIN attempts and max
bad passcode attempts by domain
>> Automated user validation based on existing trusted credentials
>> No hardware token required; can be run from a USB token
>> Easier to use and more extensible than, yet as secure as a key fob token
>> More secure and easier to implement than client certificates
>> Extensible across multiple enterprises
>> Perfect for web-based applications, remote access and non-employee
strong authentication such as online banking
>> Open source, with commercial support available.
If you manage multiple servers in multiple locations and use the same
passwords for
all of them, you should really check out WiKID. Feedback and
contributions very much appreciated.
