Greetings:

As some of you may know, the WiKID Strong Authentication system is a
dual-sourced two-factor authentication system.  We use asymmetric
encryption embedded in software tokens to securely deliver OTPs upon
receipt of a valid PIN.

We've recently published the WiKID wAuth protocol to accompany our
LGPL-licensed wClient API packages.  Some of the API packages (in
particular:python and ruby) are a bit old so the protocol docs will
provides a complete listing of the functionality as well as encourage
the use of two-factor authentication in web applications.

In general, the protocol allows for the registration of users,
validation of OTPs & offline challenge/responses, adding tokens to
existing users, pre-registration of users as well as searching, updating
and deleting users.

Feedback is appreciated,

Sincerely,

Nick
