Companies partner for OATH standard multi-factor authentication

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

In response to customer demand for an alternative to authentication product, Lieberman Software Corporation has teamed with Yubico to offer an enhanced multi-factor authentication token.

Lieberman, an identity management and security management provider for government and commercial enterprises, added native support for Yubico’s YubiKey token in its Enterprise Random Password Manager and Random Password Manager products. The waterproof, battery-free USB token provides one-time authentication through either the OATH standard or its proprietary 128-bit AES encrypted key/token code generator.


Yubico’s tokens enable authorized IT administrators to re-seed the tokens whenever they choose to, which leaves the secret features in the hands of the customer instead of the service provider and eliminates certain vulnerabilities that were exposed during the RSA token breach. [end]

Facial recognition can now be combined with fingerprint biometrics, passwords, PINs, proximity cards, smart cards and OATH tokens for a multi-factor authentication solution. Policy creation and enforcement works through a client’s existing Active Directory infrastructure.

Yubico utilizes similar technology like the MyLOK (http://mylok.ii2p.com) and even has the support network many other password managers don't have. I've already started to see a lot of other programs trying to mimic what MyLOK and Yubico are doing.
