Yubico has developed the world’s first driverless USB security key, which works out of the box with many computers without needing to install special software. The “YubiKey” has been adopted for enterprise logon by such influential and demanding customers as Google, Facebook and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and yet at the same time, Yubico has a credible plan for rollout to the general public.
