Think load balancers for the age of edge The 'pre-process data on the edge' idea turns out not to be that simple. A new buzzphrase crossed your correspondent's desk: "Computing First Networking. Intel has 25 problems, too Think of an attack — DDOS, arbitrary code execution, memory corruption — and one of these problems allows it.
Your first authentication factor is your regular user ID and password and the second authentication factor is the token generated by VeriSign's app on your iPhone. There are a couple of drawbacks to the VeriSign app. For one, you will now need your iPhone physically available in order to log in.
It's also important to remember that if your iPhone is stolen and contains your log-in and password information, you're in trouble. That's why I recommended an app called Wallet , which securely stores log-in information. Some companies are wary of deploying public-key infrastructure or dynamic password tokens that are perceived as complex, and VeriSign's managed service is aimed at remote hosting of the necessary authentication servers in its own data centers.
However, for the authentication service to work, the company must be willing to install VeriSign's middleware on Microsoft Windows , Active Directory and Microsoft Management Console, Popp says.
If the business uses Microsoft products, adding the VeriSign middleware to Active Directory will let Active Directory validate the token's form factor and one-time password through the middleware's so-called "validation utility" that will securely transmit the user's authentication data to VeriSign over the Internet. Through its data centers, VeriSign would then complete the authentication process as a service, which frees the customer from having to maintain additional servers on site for certificate or password validation.
AOL is the first ISP to offer such a service to consumers who might want to forego use of less-secure, reusable passwords.
