Enrollment of OTP for YubiKey
Would you like to set up your YubiKeys for the Yubico OTP feature? This video demonstrates the process within Appterix YubiKey LifeCycle Management. It guides you step-by-step through the enrollment process to ensure secure authentication.
What is Yubico OTP?
Yubico OTP (One-Time Password) is a secure two-factor authentication (2FA) method. A YubiKey generates a unique, 44-character password each time it is used. This password is sent to a verification server via a secure connection.
The server verifies the password by comparing the public part of the key with the secret part known to it. Because the password is only valid once, it cannot be intercepted and reused by attackers. This makes Yubico OTP a very robust method for preventing unauthorized access.
Enrollment in Appterix:
Enrollment in Appterix is the key step for enabling the Yubico OTP feature on your YubiKeys and managing it within your IT infrastructure. It's the process by which a new YubiKey is linked to Yubico OTP.
Essentially, Appterix Enrollment performs two main steps in the background for you:
OTP secret generation: The YubiKey generates a random, secret key pair (private and public ID). The private ID remains securely stored in the YubiKey, while the public ID is used for verification.
Registration with Yubico OTP: Appterix registers the YubiKey with its public ID in the Yubico OTP portal.
This process enables the YubiKey to use Yubico OTP and manages it centrally in Appterix YubiKey LifeCycle Management.
