 Two-Factor logins require users to
- Enter their username and password properly (the 1st factor)
- Authenticate a second way (e.g. by entering a code delivered to their mobile phones).
Use of two-factor authentication ensures that even if a user’s password is discovered, guessed, or captured, a malicious user still cannot gain access to the user’s account … at least not without also having access to the second factor.
Two-factor authentication significantly enhances the security of any system:
- LuxSci staff use it for all administrative actions both through our web interface and at the server command line.
- It is required for PCI compliance
- It is good for HIPAA compliance
LuxSci has long offered a simple and effective Two-factor option for its web interface. Now, LuxSci also supports DuoSecurity Two-Factor authentication with its web interface. This option provides many advanced user and administration features and is very cost-effective (usually free) for small organizations.

 Apple iOS v5 for iPad and iPhone is out! iCloud is great, allowing easy synchronization of your Apple devices and limited synch with Outlook.
For easy synchronization of your iPhone, iPad, and all other mobile devices (i.e. Blackberry, Android, Windows Mobile) and LuxSci’s WebAide collaboration tools (Tasks / Calendars / Contacts), LuxSci MobileSync is still the best way to go.
Apple iOS5 with LuxSci Mobile Sync:
- Still supports multiple calendar and contact list synchronizations
- Still supports mail synchronization, Push email, and secure sending
- New – Supports automatic synchronization of iOS “Reminders” with WebAide Task Lists
- New – Create new email folders from the Mail application
- New – Calendar events now support separate time zones for each event, making collaboration with folks in differing time zones much easier.
- New – Flag Support. The “Flagged” status of email messages now synchronizes
- New – Offline email move and delete. If you move or delete mail while disconnected, these operations will now be performed when your device reconnects
- Updated – Improves notification to users of new mail and other items
- Updated – Server-side email folder searching has been improved.
Additionally, with LuxSci WebAideSync, you can also have your Calendars/Tasks/Contacts automatically synchronized with Microsoft Outlook as well.

 Ink Signatures enable you to capture the hand written signatures of your web form users and to save these with their form submissions.
- Easy: Users can employ a mouse or stylus on desktop or laptop computers; a stylus or their finger on a mobile device
- Compatible: Works with all major web browsers as well as iPhone, iPad, and Android-powered mobile devices.
If you would like customers to actually sign their name to your web form, rather than merely checking a “checkbox”, now you can — and it is easy with the LuxSci SecureForm service.

 Viruses have been the bane of Windows users since before the World Wide Web became popular. If you owned a Mac though, you were generally immune to them. They didn’t targets Macs and still rarely do. But is that changing now that Apple and its products like the iPhone and iPad have become increasingly popular?
Most security experts agree that Apple products are still more secure than Windows, not because of any inherit security differences, but because Apple products are still used by a minority of computer users. While more people are buying Apple computers (which includes iPhones and iPads) it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the number of Windows computers out there. Virus and malware writers still go for the most bang for their buck, so they target Windows — at least up until now.

You’ve just gotten the latest and shiniest smartphone there is, now what do you do with your old smartphone? In the old days of ‘feature’ phones that just made phone calls and maybe had a calendar we would just through them out or recycle them. But now our phones aren’t really phones anymore, they are mini-computers. Why not use them for various things around the house or on the go?

There are several great iPhone Security Apps and a handful of good and simple configuration changes that you can make to your iPhone to greatly enhance you iPhone security and protect your sensitive information and identity. We have seen security vulnerabilities in iPhone including flaws in pass code access (since fixed), so it makes sense to take proactive measures — especially as attacks on mobile devices are growing rapidly.
Easy Configuration Changes for Security and Privacy
There are several iPhone configuration settings that you should make to start protecting your iPhone. The first thing to do is “Don’t Jailbreak Your iPhone“. Jailbreaking removes much of the security inherent in the iPhone and makes it much easier for malicious software or users to gain access. Furthermore, Apps that you can install on a Jailbroken phone may have not gone though any kind of screening process — you have to “trust” that they are OK.

 When health care organizations review their operations to see where electronic protected health information (ePHI) is being saved, transmitted, and viewed, a great deal of time is spent on the obvious candidates: email, chat, stored files and health records, etc.
Many overlook the fact that ePHI can be embedded in Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks. Consider for example:

- The same level of security can also be had in non-HIPAA accounts by using SecureLine and appropriate security settings.
- Beta: Mobile Sync services are now in “Beta” and not yet available for purchase. The Beta testing period is expected to end sometime in January, 2011. If you are interested being a Beta tester and using this service before then, please Contact Sales.

 LuxSci has offered an “Xpress” WebMail portal for many years. The portal is fast, simple, and works with most devices because it does not use any JavaScript or cookies, and uses few images. The Xpress portal is good for security, privacy, and access from legacy devices, as well as over very slow connections.
However, the mobile device landscape is quickly changing. Starting with the iPhone and its full-featured Safari web browser, to the Android, the Palm Pre, and the availability of browsers like OperaMini on many phones, it is now the case that many “cutting edge” phones actually have fast web browsers that fully support JavaScript, AJAX, CSS, and broadband — all the technologies formerly the purview of the desktop. Their major drawback, however, is still the very small screen. Many of these browsers work perfectly well with most web sites, including LuxSci’s full-featured WebMail portal; however, it can be problematic and painful to use and navigate sites designed for large displays on these device’s small screens.
Enter LuxSci’s new “Mobile Mode”. Mobile Mode is a new feature of LuxSci’s regular WebMail interface that is available when it detects that you are accessing it using a mobile device, such as an iPhone.
