The FIDO Alliance Focuses RSA Conference 2014 Community on
Standards-Based Strong Authentication
FIDO Ready(TM) Products and Services Introduce Enterprise,
Financial Services, eCommerce and Consumer Web Services to
Authentication That Is More Secure, Private and Easier-To-Use Than
Passwords and PINs -- February 26, Moscone North, Room 110
SAN FRANCISCO, CA and MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 19,
2014) - RSA-- The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online)
Alliance (http://www.fidoalliance.org/), an industry consortium
revolutionizing online authentication with standards for strong
authentication, today announced plans for the RSA Conference USA
2014, which is taking place in San Francisco, CA from February
24-28. The FIDO Alliance will pursue new members at the RSA
Conference and strive to engage the Security community at large in
developing universal strong authentication. FIDO authentication
equips users of online, mobile, and point-of-sale applications to
access sites and services and confirm transactions with better
authentication that is more secure, private, and easier-to-use than
passwords and PINs. At the RSA Conference, FIDO Alliance member
organizations will demonstrate FIDO Ready™ products based
on FIDO specifications.
"We look to the RSA Conference 2014, in San Francisco, to engage
new members from the Enterprise, Financial Services, and E-Commerce
sectors. Along with many others, these groups are critically
challenged to replace password and PIN dependencies with strong
authentication," said FIDO Alliance president Michael
Barrett. "The FIDO Alliance is active and available at this
year's RSA Conference to brief organizations on the emerging
authentication capability that offers Relying Parties and their
users authentication that is simultaneously more secure, private,
and easier to use."
The FIDO Ready Showcase on Wednesday afternoon, 1-5 pm, February
26, Moscone North, Room 110 will feature two FIDO Alliance member
panels, FIDO Ready product demonstrations, and a chance to
meet and interact in one-to-one meetings with many FIDO Alliance
members. All RSA attendees are welcome to come and learn more about
FIDO specifications, FIDO Ready products, and how to
engage with the FIDO Alliance to start using FIDO specifications
for universal strong authentication.

FIDO Alliance Members
Demonstrating FIDO Ready™ Products at RSA Conference
2014 RSA attendees can experience FIDO Ready
products in action at the FIDO Ready Showcase on Wednesday,
February 26, Moscone North, Room 110, 1-5 p.m., and other RSA
booths and conference locations, as noted. FIDO Ready
products and services from AGNITiO, GO-Trust, Infineon
Technologies, Nok Nok Labs, NXP Semiconductors, and Yubico will be
on display at the RSA Conference 2014.
FIDO Alliance members will demonstrate FIDO Ready
products that are based on FIDO specifications. These solutions
have undergone an interoperability testing process against FIDO
specifications. RSA demonstrations of FIDO Ready products
will illustrate the clear value interoperable, more secure,
private, and easier-to-use authentication devices and solutions can
deliver to organizations and their constituents.
Organizations are increasingly challenged to manage user bases
of personal information and passwords. While their users are
repeatedly frustrated trying to remember and manage multiple
passwords to access sites and services and confirm actions they
take every day. FIDO innovations address a key pain point for
Enterprise, Financial Services, eCommerce, and many categories of
Relying Parties, by reducing the clear risk that comes with having
to manage users' passwords across the current threat landscape.
FIDO authentication enables existing and new authentication
products and services to deliver better authentication that
overcomes the prevailing reliance on passwords and PINs.
Specifications for FIDO authentication outline a model with a
core focus on privacy -- all biometric and/or personally
identifiable information (PII) stays local on the user's device and
is not shared to the cloud or over the network.
- AGNITiO "Voice iD" protects a user from device to call
center, by identifying their unique, natural spoken
voice. AGNITiO will demonstrate Voice iD as a simple,
universal way to replace passwords and PINs when authenticating
smartphones, laptops and applications, and securing digital
transactions. See Voice iD in multifactor demonstrations at
the FIDO Ready Showcase Wednesday, February 26, Moscone North, Room
110, 1-5 p.m.
- GO-Trust FIDO microSD supports FIDO login and
includes 8GB memory capacity for user storage. FIDO microSD will
work with 99 percent of existing laptops and personal computers and
the one billion Android devices in the marketplace, making devices
FIDO Ready. For enterprises and end users, microSD will
soon be available at popular online merchants like eBay and Amazon.
Demos of GO-Trust FIDO microSD can be seen at the FIDO Ready
Showcase and on the RSA floor at the Infineon area of the IT
Security Association Germany, "German Pavilion," TeleTrusT
booth # 3421, North Exhibition Hall.
- Nok Nok Labs will be demonstrating the NNL™
Multifactor Authentication Server (MFAS), the only server
solution currently certified as FIDO Ready for both the
UAF and U2F protocols. The demo will show Android and Desktop
clients authenticating with a range of different biometric and
non-biometric use cases. FIDO Ready Showcase Wednesday, February
26, Moscone North, Room 110, 1-5 p.m and the Nok Nok Labs meeting
suite.
- Yubico will demonstrate the FIDO U2F protocol in YubiKey
NEO.
YubiKey NEO enables secure single key log in from a mobile
device or computer, to any number of online services, with a simple
touch and with no client software needed. The product is an
extension of the YubiKey invention, used by millions of users in
120 countries. FIDO Ready Showcase Wednesday, February 26, Moscone
North, Room 110, 1-5 p.m., and NXP booth# 1341.
Industry-driven FIDO specifications will support a full range of
authentication technologies, including biometrics such as
fingerprint and iris scanners, voice and facial recognition. FIDO
specifications will enable existing solutions and communications
standards, such as Trusted Platform Modules (TPM), USB Security
Tokens, embedded Secure Elements (eSE), Smart Cards, Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE), and Near Field Communication (NFC). FIDO
specifications are being designed to be extensible and to
accommodate future innovation, as well as protect existing
investments. FIDO specifications allow the interaction of
technologies within an interoperable infrastructure, enabling
authentication choice to meet the distinct needs of users and
organizations.
About The FIDO Alliance The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online)
Alliance, www.fidoalliance.org, was formed in July 2012 to address
the lack of interoperability among strong authentication
technologies, and remedy the problems users face with creating and
remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The Alliance plans to
change the nature of authentication by developing standards-based
specifications for simpler, stronger authentication that define an
open, scalable, interoperable set of mechanisms that reduce
reliance on passwords. FIDO authentication is stronger, private,
and easier to use when authenticating to online services.
