Yubico at EIC: YubiKey Strong Two-Factor Authentication With a Simple Touch

MUNICH, GERMANY and PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - May 9, 2017) - Yubico, the leading provider of simple and open online identity protection, today announced the company's participation and activities at the European Identity & Cloud Conference 2017 (EIC), May 9-12, in Munich, Germany. At EIC, Yubico will be participating on a panel discussion, showcasing new YubiKey functionality, and demonstrating FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) authentication at booth #G04.

The YubiKey secures access to a wide range of consumer and enterprise applications, all with a simple touch. A single YubiKey can perform authentication to U2F supported services (Facebook, Google, Dropbox, GitHub, Salesforce, etc.), password managers (LastPass, Dashlane, etc.), Windows login including Windows Hello, remote access, IAM, VPN, and much more. The YubiKey works on Microsoft Windows, Mac, Linux, and on major browsers without the need for extra software or drivers.

Recently introduced to the market, the YubiKey 4C is the world's first multi-protocol USB-C authentication device. The YubiKey 4C contains the same proven firmware and functionality as the YubiKey 4. The YubiKey 4 series, which is now comprised of the original YubiKey 4, the YubiKey 4 Nano, and YubiKey 4C, all perform FIDO U2F, Yubico OTP, OATH, OpenPGP (up to RSA 4096), as well as PIV smart card (up to RSA 2048 and up to ECC P384). This new form factor is designed for laptops featuring only USB-C ports.
