LucidLink Turns Humble Office into
Secure Enterprise
07/16/2004 05:03 PM

InterLink wants every office to have affordable wireless security: InterLink introduced LucidLink Wireless Security several weeks ago to connect smaller offices with enterprise-grade wireless encryption. The company knows how to build RADIUS and other authentication servers, and it saw the large gap between pre-shared secrets--subject to social engineering and potential cracking--and servers that require IT expertise and cost tens of thousands of dollars. In an interview with InterLink's president and CEO Mike Klein and vice president of marketing Wayne Burkan, they laid out how this new offering might appeal to the hundreds of thousands of businesses without information technology departments but who would benefit from a secure, login-based wireless network. LucidLink is a small RADIUS server that has a simple front end, less complicated than, say, setting up calendar entries in Outlook. It requires a special client to be installed on computers. The client requires a reboot after installation--in the current version--and that's the most onerous task in gaining access to the network. An administrator uses a simple program to approve users as they request access via the client software. It's an option-free package that meets a high bar of wireless network security through unique WPA master session keys per user. Klein explained that InterLink's primary business remains on the high-end. One ISP they work with, for instance, has 6.5 million users that authenticates using 13 AAA (authenticiation, authorization, accounting) servers from InterLink. The firm works with AT&T, Swisscom, and other giants, and has their software incorporated by firms like HP and Siemens and repackaged by Infobox into hardware appliances. "Security itself is fairly complex today in the enterprise marketplace," Klein said. The idea behind LucidLink is that it "brings a consumer-oriented ease of use model." He likened it to a garage-door opener, which masks a fair amount of wireless technology with a single button. "We're bringing enterprise-level security down into the small-to-medium business market" with the ease of use experience required by the small business, Klein said, calling LucidLink "RADIUS for the rest of us." LucidLink takes the management of this network away from an IT manager and puts it "on the desktop of an administrator, like an office manager or a receptionist," or the same person who handles cell phone numbers, access codes and badges, or building access. Klein acknowledges that WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) provides a higher bar of security, but says that pre-shared keys aren't useful...

LucidLink Offers Free Small Office
Security Package
04/18/2005 02:47 PM
It's pretty extraordinary when there's competition for giving away security: On the small-office/home-office (SOHO) end of the market for Wi-Fi security products, there's an increasing trend to just give away products that can help very small number of users in the hopes that those users then adopt the for-fee products when they grow in scale or need. But it's a very nice development for SOHO warriors, to be sure. LucidLink joins this trend by dropping the price of their three-user package for secure WLAN connections from $99 down to zero. My guess is that it was a hard sell for that user category, and that becomes a great test tool for offices considering LucidLink. They can hook up this three-user version as a test before buying a multi-seat license. The three-user limit is simultaneous users. More can be registered in the system. LucidLink is a locally hosted 802.1X server package that uses proprietary client software for Windows 2000 and XP to make the connection. The server software requires Windows 2000 (any edition), XP, or Windows Server 2003. The next step up is a 10-user version of LucidLink for $449....

RADIUS without Tears from LucidLink


RADIUS without Tears from LucidLink 06/08/2004 01:38 PM
InterLink introduces cheap, easy-to-administer, single-minded authentication server with WPA and 802.1X/EAP-TLS support: RADIUS is expensive and complicated. Small businesses either can't afford the server software or the staff to support it. InterLink is trying to reduce the cost of providing a secure Wi-Fi network by introducing its LucidLink client and server software that has one. Unlike robust, multi-purpose RADIUS servers, LucidLink authenticates in one way for one purpose. LucidLink's client software manages certificates used with EAP-TLS, the most secure method of out-of-band messaging for the authentication portion of joining a Wi-Fi network using 802.1X. With EAP-TLS, the certificate on the client machine assures the server of the correct identity. LucidLink uses WPA for keying material. It supports certain releases of Windows XP and 2000. LucidLink is the flip side of the coin from Wireless Security Corporation's out-of-house solution. WSC runs its RADIUS system as a managed service over the Internet, charging $4 to $5 per user per month. InterLink's server will cost $449 for 10 users and a lower per-user cost for higher quantities, and requires a Windows 2000 or 2003 server. The client software is nominally free, but the license for users resides on the server side....

LucidLink Releases Free Client for Win
XP, 2000
04/04/2005 12:52 PM

LucidLink has released a free Wi-Fi client that solves some configuration, security hassles: In an interesting move, wireless security software vendor Interlink has released LucidLink Wireless Client at no cost for all Windows XP and 2000 users. The client software aids in supporting secure configurations by detecting a network's settings--Mac OS X does this built-in--and secures against evil twin and related attacks by not automatically switching to networks named the same but with different attributes. The client incorporates several security elements, meaning it can serve as a single entry point for Wi-Fi network connection, as opposed to Microsoft's broken-up approach.

LucidLink Wireless Client also works with the company's 802.1X-based authentication system that uses their proprietary to set up secure connections over Wi-Fi using software you host in house and with a secure out-of-band confirmation element. The LucidLink system allows anyone with the client installed to request access to the network without requiring that they enter a username and password. The out-of-band confirmation eliminates rogue entry.

Even the linings add fun to function, with purple flowers, aqua dots or Popsicle-bright stripes.

Digital video and computers may go together like a horse and carriage, but getting the video out of the camera and onto the PC is where many people get tangled up in the reins - especially those whose computers lack the FireWire connection common to digital video cameras. There is equipment that can help you burn that footage of the peewee hockey game onto a DVD, including video-capture cards that can be installed in your computer to connect the camera directly to the PC and bulky external decoder boxes that can connect it via a U.S.B. port. The new AVerMedia UltraTV USB 300 External TV Tuner gives you a pocket-size solution, and it can also play and record live television on your laptop or desktop PC.
