CERN Research Boosts Security with YubiKey – Yubico’s Insight

Read about how CERN is using YubiKeys in eWeek

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, pioneers of the World Wide Web and one of the world’s leading scientific research centers, uses YubiKeys for securing critical services.

“The YubiKey meets all our requirements thanks to its simplicity of use, its open algorithm and the available open-source software support. Moverover, YubiKey require no drivers, meaning that it is compatible with all our operating systems, which is a big advantage in a heterogeneous academic environment. The absence of a battery is yet another plus, limiting the maintenance costs to a strict minimum”

Remi Mollon, Computer Security Analyst, CERN
