Hate passwords? Do you use the same password on multiple machines? If
so, please check out the open source version of the WiKID Strong
Authentication System. The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a
key-based two-factor authentication system that is flexible enough to
replace passwords. We built WiKID to be a flexible, extensible, and
secure alternative to tokens or passwords. 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 sup****ts multiple security domains pointed at difference
network resources
>> Each client sup****ts 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 sup****t available.
Feedback and contributions very much appreciated.
