[RADIATOR-ANNOUNCE] Radiator support for Yubikey tokens

[Mike McCauley]

We are pleased to announce that Radiator now suports Yubikey tokens from
Yubico (http://www.yubico.com). Radiator is the first RADIUS server to support
Yubikey.

Yubikeys are cost-effective, high security one-time-password tokens. The nice
thing about them is their USB interface. When you plug in a Yubikey, it acts
like a keyboard. Pressing the button on the Yubikey automatically enters the
next one-time-password into whatever application has the keyboard focus. This
means that Yubikeys can work with almost any application where a password can
be entered, such as web applications, 802.1X clients etc. They do not require
drivers or other special software to be preinstalled on Windows, Linux or Mac
OSX. They have no artificial lifetime limits.

See the demonstration video at

Yubikeys support standards compliant AES encryption algorithms, so no
proprietary software is required to support them. Yubikeys can be field
reprogrammed with either static passwords or your own keys.

Yubikey and Radiator allow you to authenticate any number of RADIUS compliant
applications and services with a single token database.

The new Radiator module AuthBy SQLYUBIKEY allows Yubikeys to be authenticated
from token data held in an SQL database. It supports both one- and two-factor
authentication (ie with or without an additional per-user static PIN). It also
supports replay attack detection.

The AuthBy SQLYUBIKEY module supports PAP, EAP-GTC and EAP-OTP authentication
protocols. It is available in the latest Radiator patch set.

Yubico's support of open standards with extremely cost-effective tokens will
make them an important player in the authentication token industry and we are
pleased to be able to support them.

Yubikeys can be priced and purchased at
