FIDO Alliance Announces 72 Certified Authentication Products Are Now Available, Featuring the First FIDO Solutions for Apple's Touch ID on iOS 9 - Seite 2

"Nok Nok Labs is proud to have achieved FIDO certification for the Nok Nok App SDK for iOS, which is a key part of the Nok Nok S3 Authentication Suite," said Ramesh Kesanupalli, founder of Nok Nok Labs and FIDO visionary. "The Nok Nok App SDK for iOS leverages the Secure Enclave and TouchID for both on-device and out of band authentication, allowing deploying organizations to deliver strong authentication across multiple platforms including iOS. As operating systems such as Apple's iOS evolve and improve, the FIDO specifications underpinning the Nok Nok S3 Suite deliver a cross-platform framework allowing organizations to leverage those advances for any authenticator, any device and any application."

"The FIDO solution from Samsung SDS offers compelling and trusted opportunities with FIDO Certified products for both Android and iOS. On top of the interoperability of FIDO, SDS adds high security to its product through CC (Common Criteria) certification, presenting a wide scope of FIDO solution," Dongho Kim, product manager, Samsung SDS. 

"The new Keydo Flash Drives by NEOWAVE just passed FIDO U2F certification. This new product line combines FIDO U2F USB Security Key and USB 3.0 mass storage (from 8GB to 64GB) with 256-bit AES data encryption. With the free portable Chromium browser option on the flash partition, it is the world's first all-in-one portable and 'zero footprint' secure cloud browsing solution compatible with FIDO U2F," said Bruno BERNARD, CEO of NEOWAVE.

Certification testing is based on industry-standard best practices to objectively evaluate technical implementations of the FIDO 1.0 specifications, which are Universal Authentication Framework (UAF) and Universal 2nd Factor (U2F). Demand for FIDO certification is high, as indicated by the many products certified just since FIDO certification testing launched in May. Both FIDO Alliance member and non-member organizations participated in this third round of FIDO certification tests conducted in September.

The growing ecosystem of FIDO products and services enables companies, organizations and individuals to move beyond using passwords for security by adding FIDO U2F second-factor devices and/or eliminating passwords entirely through FIDO UAF biometric solutions such as fingerprint or iris recognition sensors. If biometric data is used by a FIDO authenticator, the biometric information never leaves the device. FIDO authentication to the cloud is always performed by means of industry standard public key cryptography.
