YubiKey NEO
What Is It?
You may look at this like many others and think to yourself, what is this thing. Well we're here to explain it. The YubiKey NEO is a One-Time Password (OTP) generator device through both NFC (Near Field Communication) and USB interfaces. When the YubiKey NEO is introduced to an NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled mobile device, it emits an NFC NDEF tag, which triggers your browser or is handled by supporting applications. The same device can also be used on computers with USB and for physical access control. Mobile authentication through NFC contactless technology (NDEF type 4), works with Android, RIM, Windows Phone, Symbian.
Two Factor Authentication
The YubiKey NEO provides strong two-factor authentication, combining something you know (a password) with something you have (a YubiKey NEO). This two-factor authentication provides you with much stronger security when compared to using only a username and password. By simulating a USB keyboard (HID), YubiKeys require no installation and by drawing power from the host device it also doesn't depend on an internal battery.
Real Life Example
Surfing the web, you log into your email account and someone may be able to get a hold of your username and password. However, if you had a YubiKey NEO, things wouldn't be so simple. After plugging your YubiKey NEO into your USB or tap your NFC mobile device, it will generate a 44 character OTP for your accounts. When you sign into your email it will now require an OTP generated by your YubiKey NEO.
Imagine that people were monitoring your network traffic without your consent. They may be able to glean your password by examining captured TCP packets, but the YubiKey NEO password they capture will be of no use to them, because it can be used only once! This two-factor authentication system provides you with the security you need to keep your information safe at all times. Check out a video of the YubiKey here.
