Re:Running the WiKID Two-factor authentication server on Ubuntu by remix_tj — last modified Nov 16, 2008 03:34 PM

Pretty... Do you think is possible to build from source the package on debian/ubuntu or any other distro? If possible to build from source maybe i can test to create some debs on my PPA

I should have added that this application also uses a "Site Specific Browser" for added security. Only approved sites are accessible and each approved site gets mutual https authentication.

Kris:

First, there is no MITM attack that WiKID is vulnerable to which a hardware token is not also vulnerable. Second, the PC token includes https mutual authentication which prevents network-based MITM attacks for https and SSL-based (browser-based) VPNs. So, in fact, WiKID provides more MITM protection than a hardware token.

The PC token also has anti-keystroke logger functionality. Further, the latest Enterprise version allows you to have "Wireless Only" domains, so users must one of the J2ME, Blackberry or other smart-phone tokens.

HTH,

Nick

MTM vulnerable by Kris Puri — last modified Oct 31, 2008 11:49 PM

I think the WiKID solution is susceptible to MTM attacks. Since you don't use a hardware token with a number generator synced to the server I see this is inferior to the more expensive solution.

I may be reading the description wrong though.

Thanks. We will look at doing native deb packaging, but probably not until 4.0 is out. Gotta keep the focus....

It is indeed great news. Given the popularity of Ubuntu, I would hope you would consider packing in .deb format natively -- not to say you should give up on RPM.

I understand that price affects supply. I am not really concerned (here) with current prices. I'm concerned that the government is manipulating the market (for gasoline) by mandating ethanol additives and that we've lost a sense of the strategic value of having a large, relatively easily accessible reserve of oil in case of a long, unpleasant, global situation.

Oil is finite at any given price. As the price of oil rises, more oil becomes available - is available and is discovered. The issue is what the true long term price of oil is, it is not $120/bbl, that is just what the speculators have driven it to. If it was long term above $100/bbl, much more production would come online. Not enough people believe it will stay that high to spend the money on those sources.
