Google Unveils FIDO U2F Security Key Support
- LaSombra 12y agoTime to buy a YubiKey NEO.
- 2bluesc 12y agoCareful, I already own a YubiKey Neo with firmware 3.2.0 and it doesn't work (just tried it). Firmware 3.3.0 is needed and it doesn't appear to be upgradable: https://www.yubico.com/2014/09/yubikey-neo-u2f/ https://www.yubico.com/2014/09/yubikey-neo-u2f/
- secfirstmd 12y agoAnyone else notice the FIDO alliance board is kind of lacking when it comes to open source and/or privacy people on it? Though it has RSA, Google, Visa and no doubt many others who are happy to sell or give your stuff to the NSA and GCHQ...
- 2bluesc 12y agoYubico themselves are awesome. They have tons of code available @ http://github.com/yubico http://github.com/yubico that sees regular attention. They are very responsive to attacks and well regarded http://youtu.be/H-cpm7D8Sqg?t=28m40s http://youtu.be/H-cpm7D8Sqg?t=28m40s Yubico actively supports open source, for example by giving away 100 free keys to kernel.org devs ( http://zd.net/1tdCmik http://zd.net/1tdCmik ). Perhaps this is just a cheap publicity stunt, but still way better then most!
- secfirstmd 12y agoAgree. I've heard good stuff about them. Didn't mean to lump them in also. Just the overall balance.
- Sami_Lehtinen 12y agoThat's not too different from mobile based 2FA. Which also uses public key based crypto.
