This document summarizes IdentityNORTH's mobile ID demonstration and ecosystem. It discusses how mobile IDs will be interoperable through standardization bodies like ISO and AAMVA. The mobile ID ecosystem involves an issuing authority provisioning mobile IDs to citizens, which can then be validated and personal data obtained and trusted by service providers. ISO 18013-5 creates trust by having issuers sign data with private keys, encrypting transmissions, and using signer certificates and trust lists of certified certificate authorities.
The FIDO Alliance invites you to learn how simplify strong authentication for web services. This presentation was part of our FIDO Alliance Seminar in Tokyo, Japan, in November, 2015.
Last year was a year of great progress for the FIDO Alliance and standards-based strong authentication. Tens of millions of FIDO-enabled devices are now in use worldwide. There are over 100 FIDO Certified™ products available, and nearly 250 organizations are now taking part in the Alliance, including more than a dozen trade association partners. The market is clearly showing that now is the time to deploy FIDO authentication to modernize failing password systems. These slides address: – The uptake in global momentum – Details on FIDO’s recent submission to the World Wide Web Consortium – The Alliance’s plans and strategy for 2016 and what this means to you and your organization in the upcoming year We encourage you and your colleagues to view these slides to catch up on what happened in 2015 and to learn how FIDO’s explosive growth can benefit your organization in 2016.

The Fast Identity Online (FIDO) framework aims to support a variety of authentication technologies to replace passwords, including biometrics, security tokens, and smart cards. It uses public-key cryptography where the user's device generates a key pair during registration and then signs a challenge from the server for login. There are two main protocols - Universal Authentication Framework (UAF) which allows authentication through local actions like fingerprints, and U2F which provides a second factor for login through a security key. FIDO has advantages like reducing password complexity and recovery procedures, but also has disadvantages like requiring compatible hardware and potential to forget authentication devices.
