Kenneth P. Weiss' House

The founder of Security Dynamics owns this home.

The home is on sale in 2011 for $12,750,000.

In 1994, Security Dynamics went public on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Weiss, the company's largest individual shareholder, resigned in 1996; the company had by then achieved a market capitalization of more than $4 billion.

The company was sold in 2006 to EMC.

Dr. Weiss' SecurID technology - still the core product, 80% of all revenue, of the company he alone founded - is based on the premise that a password alone is not enough to secure a computer network. The SecurID Token introduced two-factor authentication - something you know (a password) and something uncounterfeitable you posses (a secure token) to solve the problem of unauthorized network and computer access. To prove to a computer system that a user has the token in his possession at a specific moment, a digital display produces a random number of up to 8 digits number every 60 seconds. Through a patented algorithmic process, that same number is simultaneously synchronized and produced within the host computer.

He lives in Newton, MA.
