The chapter hosted a virtual meeting for December and received a presentation on Passwordless Authentication from StrongKey. The chapter learned about FIDO [Fast IDentity online], an easier and more secure open-source authentication option. FIDO can be used to remove passwords, minimize identity theft and easily adapt to existing environments to provide strong authentication to a wide range of applications used by service providers, developers and consumers alike. This method has been deemed the highest assurance level for authentication, even higher than digital certificate smart cards used by the U.S. Department of Defense. |
