Thanks to Henrik Schack’s great work in developing a Wordpress Yubikey plugin, I now use two-factor hardware-assisted authentication technology (i.e., the Yubikey) to log in to my blog. Kudos, Henrik!
Since my server still uses php4 (sigh), I had to create a small patch to make it use mhash instead of hash.
A free software conference in Sweden? That’s a rare one. Organized by the FSFE and Henrik Sandklef, it will be held on the 7-8 December 2007. I hope we’ll see more of this in Sweden. I’m proud to have been invited to talk about both GnuTLS and OpenID. I’m happy to see that there is a OpenMoko talk as well. If you want to participate, there is an early bird discount if you register now. If someone is going and would like to chat, drop me an email.
Thought I’d let you know the reason why this blog has been silent for a while: Youbico. It is a new startup company that I’m involved in as head of R&D and investor. The idea is to sell a hardware USB dongle, the Youbico key, for user authentication. Initially we’ll target the OpenID community, but we are working with a number of companies looking to use the Youbico key for other applications.
That’s it basically. Again, check out our web site to find out more.
Today I sent some patches for elinks to make it better use the GnuTLS APIs. That made Elinks happily connect using TLS 1.2 to the GnuTLS test server. Would this make it the first web browser ever to support TLS v1.2? Inquiring minds wants to know.
(Yeah, I know that TLS v1.2 is not finalized yet.)
