Have you heard about Google Authenticator? http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/ http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/ It's a wonderful, standards-based, open-source project that brings two-factor authentication to Android, iOS, Blackberry, and PAM.
I doubt Google would want to talk about every single way that we try to secure our networks from hackers, but Google is pretty good about open-sourcing things (or publishing papers) to contribute to the industry's security practices.
- chamakits 14y agoI did not know about this project. I agree, Google does open up a lot of projects and publishes a lot of papers as well on their work. I guess my comment was a bit of a gut reaction to the wording used that entailed "our problem are unique" which are many times used to justify brand new proprietary projects. I imagine whats used is based on a combination of open source projects (either theirs or others) with their own secret sauce. Which is pretty standard process I guess. Alright, maybe I commented too early. The wording threw me off.
