As we are progressing quite well with Yubiii, today we decided to give you a visual sneak-peak preview – five videos showing key aspects of the product, so far:
Direct downloads: Video 1 | Video 2 | Video 3 | Video 4 | Video 5 (large files, ~100Mb each)
A small update about Yubikey Tools. Now they are supporting Offline authentication. First you run GinaConsole tool to enable Offline mode. You will have to provide Private ID and AES Key in order to activate the feature:
Then, there is a new CheckBox available in Logon dialog which controls the Offline authentication behavior:
As of today we are using Yubikey to access our Web Site management console, in addition to standard username/password logon process. Enabling 2-factor authentication on our Web Site was a simple task; it turned out to be an easy 3-steps process:
and that’s it! Enjoying hardened security already… (:
A new addition to the collection is under way. AutoLock will remember your Yubikey and lock out the computer once the device is removed. You will have to Logon to Windows in order to unlock the computer. AutoLock will continue to work in background, waiting for your Yubikey arrival, and will start monitoring it again. Coming soon…
Couple of weeks ago we got some Yubikeys and some lucky of us are already using them. Meanwhile a new set of tools is coming around the corner – Yubikey Tools – and their first member is available for downloading right away. If you are lucky too, and you got your new Yubikey, grab this little application to play with it.
This tool has been built as a proof of concept, that Yubikey Validation could be done easily with Borland Delphi. We have created a Library for rapid application development supporting OTP (One-time-password) validation on Yubico’s Validation Servers. It will be used for future Yubikeys Tools development, and will be released to the public soon.
Our latest project FFT-z has been moved to its own web site. Feel free to update your Bookmarks. We are still working on it and it will be fully supported with next FFT-z release.
Our recently released and updated software project FFT-z (Processor Stress Test tool) was noted and awarded with 100% FREE certificates by Softpedia. Here is the stamp and the link to the certificate:
FFT-z just got its own web page and project page at SF.net. Find more information about FFT-z there. The latest preview version 2 has been pushed at SF.net, and development source code repository stays on our SVN server. You can use SF.net Forums and Bugs tracker already. And any future updates and announcements about FFT-z will be posted here, at 5Group.
