The YubiKey - Strong Authentication for the Net

Yubico's core product is the YubiKey™, the first USB-key for instant authentication to networks and services that works on multiple platforms and does not need any client software.

The revolutionary device plugs into any USB slot. With a simple touch on the YubiKey, it sends the user's identity and a unique pass code every time it is used. Optionally, users can program the YubiKey to have two independent and separate configurations. For example, users can have a static password and a One-Time pass code - one for a legacy system and one for a high security validation server. All in one single YubiKey!

Provided at unmatched price, cost of ownership and ease of use through an open source business model, the YubiKey is rapidly being adopted by enterprises, developers and Internet services around the world.

Yubico also provides a free basic hosted validation service, enabling the YubiKey to be used for a growing number of third party services.
