Turn your phone into an Authentication token!

I was turned onto this Authentication Solution, and I have to admit that the possibilities for this type of a solution seem to be quite high!

Here’s how it works:

You download and install a client applet on your device, and this client interacts with their server software installed on your VPN Authentication server.   Instead of answering a network challenge by providing your PIN and PASSCODE displayed on your SecurID token, this service will call your cell-phone and then you enter a code into your phone.

Some advertised benefits

  • Works with any VPN, enterprise application, or website

  • Eliminates the need for tokens

  • Works with any phone anywhere

  • Easy to setup, manage, and use

     

    Pretty cool, huh?   For more details, check out their homepage

    1. RSA software for most mobile phone operating systems that will do this. Hosted security isn’t security.

    2. I totally agree that hosted security is not really security, the point is that they are taking confirmation of identity to something beyond simple username/password challenge, and one that won’t necessarily cost the company a lot of $$$.

      When companies want their own server (not hosted), they simply buy the server software from the Developer Positive Networks and install it on their current authentication server.

    3. Thanks for the info.

    4. You’re very welcome!
