Cornelius is into multi factor authentication since 2004. He is the project lead of the MFA system privacyIDEA.

As a consultant he learnt to unterstand customers requirements in heterogenous networks. He planned and implemented several PKIs for smartcard usage and was one of the first to work on the interoperability of the Aladdin eToken.

In 2006 he started one of the the first open source one time password systems. In 2009 he initiated an enterprise OTP solution. In 2014 he kicked off the privacyIDEA project. It is a vendor independent authentication system, which can be used to manage arbitrary authentication objects for multi factor authentication. privacyIDEA supports authentication protocols like PAM, RADIUS, SAML or LDAP. In 2014 he also founded the company NetKnights to provide consultancy for strong authentication.

Cornelius spoke at several conferences in Germany, in the Netherlands, in Belgium (FOSDEM), in Denmark and in the U.S.

A decade of open source multi factor authentication

privacyIDEA is a multi factor authentication system that helps administrators, organizsations and companies to manage thousands of 2nd factors of users. privacyIDEA supports all different token types and runs on premies. The project is around for 10 years. While it is completely open source, a company run by the developers provides support to companies who require this. This proves that open source can be the base for a successful business model. We will talk about how privacyIDEA developed, what are the future plans and how it can also help you solve your authentication challenges.
