An interesting Web SDK implementation

Posted  October 26, 2007 By Steve

One of the great things about having a freely available Web SDK is the fun of watching people put it to uses you had never imagined.

PhoneFactor SDK user David Spriggs, an employee of a Large University Hospital, thought PhoneFactor was a cool way to offer increasing levels of authentication for various kinds of documents. Some documents, such as a company picnic announcement, might simply be available without any authentication whatsoever, while other docs require a username and password. For the most sensitive documents, such as those dealing with patient records, David integrated PhoneFactor into the document management database so that accesses to such docs would require a PhoneFactor authentication.

The cool part is that he did this entirely on his own, using our freely available SDK and a few lines of php. There have been others who have integrated the SDK into their application, but I thought David’s use was particularly cool.
