Yesterday, we spoke about the new ways to authenticate to Web 2.0 services and I listed the announcement of Google.
Today, FireID is going a little bit further. They tied, through a beta release, their mobile authentication component for web application to the new Google OOB system. The main strength of this solution relies on compliancy of FireID with Android, WinMobile and BlackBerry.
"FireID focuses on strong authentication and is committed to remaining the leading innovator in providing authentication solutions on all mobile platforms," says Jenny Dugmore, CEO of FireID. "Security is a strategic imperative for enterprises and this is not resolved with a point solution. More enterprises are recognising the importance of two-factor authentication and the mobile phone is clearly the most cost effective and practical option. FireID's solution is an ideal extension to the Google platform, giving it greater reach and, since it is out-of-band, gives the solution stronger security than traditional solutions."
