FIDO2 - FIDO Alliance
What is FIDO2? FIDO2 enables users to leverage common devices to easily authenticate to online services in both mobile and desktop environments. The FIDO2 specifications are the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Authentication (WebAuthn) specification and FIDO Alliance’s corresponding Client-to-Authenticator Protocol (CTAP).
How FIDO Works - Standard Public Key Cryptography & User Privacy
With FIDO, the user’s device must prove possession of the private key by signing a challenge for sign-in to be completed. This can only occur once the user verifies the sign-in locally on their device, via quick and easy entry of a biometric, local PIN or touch of a FIDO security key.
User Authentication Specifications Overview - FIDO Alliance
FIDO2 supports passwordless, second-factor and multi-factor user experiences with embedded (or bound) authenticators (such as biometrics or PINs) or external (or roaming) authenticators (such as FIDO Security Keys, mobile devices, wearables, etc.).
Resource Documentation - FIDO Alliance
FIDO Biometric Certification Requirements. This document defines the requirements and test procedures for biometric component certification. It contains the requirements for the performance of the biometric authenticator as well as requirements on Presentation Attack Detection.
Passkeys - FIDO Alliance
A passkey is a FIDO authentication credential based on FIDO standards, that allows a user to sign in to apps and websites with the same process that they use to unlock their device (biometrics, PIN, or pattern). Passkeys are FIDO cryptographic credentials that are tied to a user’s account on a website or application.
FIDO Alliance - Open Authentication Standards More Secure than …
FIDO Alliance is focused on providing open and free authentication standards to help reduce the world’s reliance on passwords, using UAF, U2F and FIDO2.
