What is Fast IDentity Online (FIDO)?
It is an industry standard authentication scheme that:
- Eliminates passwords completely from web applications
- Addresses capabilities and vulnerabilities of the worldwide web (including mobile devices)
- Is an open, royalty-free industry standard available for anyone to implement
- Incorporates user privacy as a design principle
- Is extremely simple and easy to use by anyone
This chapter provides an introduction to FIDO, providing some history and context for why a new authentication protocol was created, and what distinguishes FIDO from all previous authentication capabilities. The rest of this manual provides detailed information on how to install and use StrongKey’s open-source FIDO2 server.
