Things To Know About FIDO2

 

FIDO2 is one of the technologies that you should consider deploying in your business if you want to improve the security of your business systems. You can access this technology through the eKYC portal.

FIDO2 in full stands for Fast Identity Online. With an added number two at the end, this acronym is based upon previous work that was done by the FIDO Alliance, particularly in terms of developing the Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) authentication standard. It is the third standard to emerge from the FIDO Alliance after the FIDO Universal Second Factor and the FIDO Universal Authentication Framework.

FIDO2 was developed to eliminate the use of passwords over the Internet. It was developed to introduce open and license-free standards for secure, worldwide authentication over the Internet. This authentication process eliminates the traditional threats that come with using a login username and password, replacing it with the FIDO2 passwordless login standard. It protects against common online attacks like phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.

This standard make use of public-key cryptography, which guarantees a secure and convenient authentication system. The FIDO2 standard makes use of a private and public key to validate each user’s identity to achieve this. To use FIDO2 authentication, you first need to sign up for it at FIDO2 supported sites. To do so, you have to go through a few setup steps.

One of the things you will need to do is fill the appropriate registration form and choose a FIDO2 security key, which could be either a FIDO2 webauthn or trusted platform module. The service will generate a FIDO2 authentication key pair. Your FIDO2 device will send the public key to the service, while the private key containing sensitive information stays on your device. After the secure communication path is enabled, the setup credentials are stored permanently, something that allows for later logins.
