In our increasingly interconnected world, individuals in both business and personal settings are seeking access to their data through a variety of devices, including PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. However, despite the widespread availability of data, maintaining a high level of security is paramount, ideally without compromising the user experience. By leveraging the multi-factor authentication solutions built upon the open standards established by the FIDO Alliance, online users can now achieve an enhanced level of security while registering and logging into their accounts with ease. This process involves combining two authentication factors – one of them: a FIDO security key.
Through the utilization of a dedicated FIDO security key – a physical hardware token, users can safeguard themselves against potential breaches and phishing attacks, all while enjoying a streamlined and effortless login procedure. Consequently, organizations that adopt FIDO's standards can fortify their security measures, enhance user satisfaction, and even reduce their support expenditures.
As a founding member of the FIDO Alliance and a leading provider of cutting-edge security solutions, Infineon plays a pivotal role in driving these advancements. By providing the ideal security ICs (integrated circuits) for a wide array of FIDO security keys, USB tokens, and any type of authenticators, Infineon actively supports the integration of these enhancements. Notably, Infineon is expanding its portfolio of FIDO reference designs, incorporating FIDO2 compatibility for both USB and NFC protocols in a single-chip solution designed for FIDO security keys, USB tokens, and any type of removable authenticators.
FIDO Alliance specifications make logging onto the web safer and easier than password-protected access. The easy-to-use multi-factor authentication is based on a security key that works across different devices and clients.
This is your go-to destination for the latest news, product updates, and insights on authentication, access, and FIDO trends.
FIDO, which stands for Fast Identity Online, is an industry alliance with a focused mission: revolutionizing online authentication and reducing the world’s over-reliance on passwords. The FIDO Alliance promotes the development and use of, as well as compliance with standards for authentication and device attestation.
Founded in July 2012 by Infineon, PayPal, Lenovo, Nok Nok Labs, Validity Sensors, and Agnitio, the FIDO Alliance today counts more than 300 global tech leaders across enterprise, payments, telecom, government, and healthcare, including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Master Card, Visa, Samsung, and Salesforce to name only some.
Key Targets:
- Established simpler and stronger authentication that diminishes the reliance on passwords.
- Increased security and strengthened protection against unauthorized access at optimized ease of use.
- Increased trust in the security of sensitive data and private accounts.
FIDO standards address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication technologies and remedy the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords. With FIDO standards a single USB device or a smartcard is able to authenticate the user and reduce or remove the reliance on passwords across multiple participating websites. FIDO provides a multi-factor authentication solution that improves security and usability versus passwords alone.

It allows protection from being phished, replayed or revealed through server breach attacks.



In the rapidly evolving landscape of security and authentication, the adoption of fingerprint biometrics has gained remarkable traction. This webinar will provide valuable insights into this and its transformative impact on security and convenience for different enterprise and government applications. Join us to stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly advancing field.



This webinar will discuss some of the common threats to online and local accounts and how hardware-based multifactor authentication using the FIDO standard significantly improves protection while streamlining the user experience. Infineon Technologies will give an overview of the FIDO specifications, how these increase authentication security, and how companies looking to develop FIDO security products can start the implementation.
