FIDO Alliance Osaka Seminar: FIDO Security Aspects.pdf

Rajiv Dholakia, Nok Nok Labs Basics of how FIDO protocols work, how they fit into the broader identity ecosystem, the benefits of the design and the state of implementation/deployment in the market; appropriate for both technical and non-technical individuals, giving orientation before diving into the details of the specific FIDO protocols.

ForgeRock proposes a new approach for IoT security, where identity principles are used to ensure the authenticity of IoT devices and their communications. We call this upcoming technology, ForgeRock Edge Security. Using secure, standards-based tokens and providing comprehensive, policy-based controls for controlling access to data from devices, this is the next generation of IoT edge security. With examples from industrial and automotive IoT environments, learn how this new way of providing security “on the edge” can provide a rock solid layer of security for your IoT deployments.

This document provides an introduction to FIDO (Fast IDentity Online), a standardized authentication framework that enables scalable and faster access to web resources without requiring users to remember complicated passwords. It discusses problems with traditional password-based authentication and outlines FIDO's two main specifications: UAF (Universal Authentication Framework), which supports passwordless authentication using built-in authenticators, and U2F (Universal Second Factor), which adds a second factor of authentication to password login. The document explains FIDO components, protocols, and architecture in detail and provides examples of how FIDO enables secure authentication flows. It also discusses next steps for further standardization and adoption of FIDO.

1) The FIDO Alliance authentication certification program evaluates and certifies authenticators at different security levels to create trust between relying parties and authenticators. 2) Higher certification levels provide defenses against more sophisticated attacks, with Level 3+ providing the highest security against physical attacks on authenticator devices. 3) The certification process involves security reviews and penetration testing conducted by accredited laboratories. Companion certification programs can reduce the cost and time of certification for vendors.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Anthony Nadalin from Microsoft on FIDO2 and Microsoft implementations. It discusses the FIDO standards including CTAP2 and WebAuthn, and how Microsoft supports these standards in Windows 10, Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft Accounts. It provides an overview of authentication interactions and the different entities involved, such as relying parties, clients, authenticators, and platforms.

The document discusses identity in the Internet of Things (IoT) world. It covers the following key points: 1. Identity is frequently targeted in cyber attacks against executives, administrators, and outsourced vendors. Attackers need to be right once while enterprise security needs to be right every time. 2. IoT devices like refrigerators and thermostats are increasingly being hacked. 3. A framework is needed for identity management of users, devices, applications, and resources to enable secure access from any client or device to any service located anywhere. 4. Next generation IT requirements for identity in IoT include standards-driven federation and APIs, identity management for all entities, multi-factor
