Jonathan Craymer and Stephen Howes, GrIDsure

[Dave Birch] Jonathan Craymer and Stephen Howes are the inventors of the GrIDsure system and founders of GrIDsure Limited. GrIDsure is a "visual PIN" system, which replaces a simple numeric PIN with a pattern-based alternative. In this podcast, they tell us where the idea came from and where they hope it might go.

As someone who works in the identity space I have been subscribing to this podcast for some time now and it has been an excellent resource.

This podcast was of specific interest to me as my company does something very similar. I work for Vidoop and we have a OpenID provider at http://myVidoop.com that also has a integrated password manager that will store all your online passwords. making them accessible from anywhere.

All your data is protected by our two-factor authentication ImageShield, which is phishing, man-in-the-middle, and shoulder surfing resistant. Using our ImageShield a random access code is generated every time you login. As you know studies have shown it is easier to recognize images than recall a complicated password.

We have an excellent video describing how our ImageShield protects your data here: http://www.vidoop.com/products/overview

I would love to see a comparison of the different image based login systems :)

Cheers,
Kevin
