Lower breach risks, potential damages, and password reset costs.

Faster time to market, user-friendly, and future-proof.

Lower development/maintenance costs and little-to-no provisioning costs.

No linkability between services or accounts and no third party in the protocol.

Protects against phishing, man-in-the-middle, and replay attacks.

Based on public-key cryptography (keys stay on the device).

Identiv’s innovative, industrial-strength, government-grade uTrust FIDO2 Security Keys are made in the U.S.A and provide simple, strong authentication that eliminates the need for passwords and resists phishing attacks. The local unlock is accomplished by a user inserting a uTrust FIDO2 Security Key or pressing the NFC button on the security key.

The client’s private keys can be used only after they are unlocked locally on the device by the user. Authentication is done by the client device proving possession of the private key to the service by signing a challenge. It retains the private key and registers the public key with the online service. 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).ĭuring registration with an online service, the user’s client device creates a new key pair.

FIDO2 enables users to leverage common devices to easily authenticate to online services in both mobile and desktop environments. FIDO2 is the term for FIDO Alliance’s newest set of specifications. FIDO U2F is an open standard that provides added security and simplifies Universal 2-Factor authentication. This is accomplished by using standard public-key cryptography to provide strong authentication and leave zero data at rest.

Based on free, open standards from the FIDO Alliance, Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) authentication enables password-only logins to be replaced with secure, fast login experiences across websites and apps.
