Yubico and Svensk e-Identitet Provide Secure Single Sign-on for Swedish Schools

Sunnyvale, CA, December 03, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Swedish Data Inspection Agency recently required all staff and students at Swedish schools to use two-factor authentication for logging in to the school’s online services. Svensk e-Identitet, a provider of cloud single-sign services, has integrated YubiKey support and is now successfully deploying a secure login solution for several Swedish local e-governments.

With the solution from Svensk e-Identitet, Swedish schools are able to use one single and secure identity to login and securely access the range of IT-systems, including all the leading school systems; Google Apps, Windows Live, Unikum, Schoolsoft, etc.

The solution is set up as a cloud service and requires almost no support or integration from the School’s IT-department or system integrator.

The YubiKey is a small and robust USB-key, designed to generate secure one time pass codes – in a simple touch of a button. It works on all computers with no client software and fits easily on the keychain.

The solution meets the requirement for secure login from the Swedish Data Inspection Agency. YubiKey was recently awarded as best Internet security solution, 2010.
