FireID You only need to remember 1 password and your CellPhone
While we are waiting for authentication that uses your ear’s echo wave as biometric, more down to earth, FireID is proposing a new technology that allows people to access multiple Web sites on their mobile phone without having to remember all the passwords. User only needs cellphone that supports Java app. Version for Blackberry and iPhone and Android are in the work.
According to Jenny Dugmore, chief executive of FireID: “This can be done with FireID “universal personal authenticator” app turns any phone that runs Java into a one-time password generator and generates the password directly on the phone instantly so there is no risk of it being intercepted and no waiting for an SMS like with other password-generator systems, said Jenny Dugmore, chief executive of FireID.
The system also works with multiple applications and creates a unique encrypted password for each session. It identifies the app and the make and model of the phone and downloads a version of FireID that is specific for that phone rather than a generic version.
The only password the user needs to remember is the one to access the FireID app.
