FEITIAN Launches FIDO2 Products with FIDO2 Release

Oct 23rd, 2018

BEIJING, CHINA and SANTA CLARA, CA – On September 26, 2018, the FIDO Alliance announced through a Press Release that the leading technology companies were beginning to ship the products for the newly launched FIDO2. Today, FEITIAN Technologies US is announcing that it is now beginning to ship their FIDO2 Security Key products.

The FIDO2 authentication technology is comprised of the W3C’s Web Authentication specification and the corresponding Client to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP) from FIDO Alliance. Collectively, these standards enable users to leverage common devices to more easily authenticate to online services through mobile and desktop browsers. FIDO2 supports a variety of authentication use cases and experiences, including password-less, second-factor and multi-factor for the highest levels of assurance. Password-only logins can now be replaced with easy user gestures using embedded biometrics (facial recognition, iris scan, fingerprint swipe) and/or portable security keys.

FEITIAN’s certified FIDO2 products include:

• BioPass FIDO2® (K24) with on-device Biometric Fingerprint and USB-A Interface;
• BioPass FIDO2® (K27) with on-device Biometric Fingerprint and USB-A Interface;
• BioPass FIDO2® (K26) with on-device Biometric Fingerprint and USB-C Interface;
• ePass FIDO2®-NFC (K9) with NFC / USB-A Interfaces.

“With FIDO2, the tech industry has now established a technology standard for strong, phishingresistant authentication on the web that promises better security and a better user experience – and is now supported in leading browsers and operating systems,” said Brett McDowell, executive director of the FIDO Alliance. “We are pleased to see FEITIAN continue to drive innovation in the marketplace through its first FIDO2 Security Keys, which provide enterprises with a broader choice in ways to allow their employees and customers to securely access online services without being dependent on passwords.”

“We are excited to empower enterprises and online service providers who use these FEITIAN FIDO2 products to protect themselves and their customers from the risks associated with passwords, through multiple major web browsers including Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge, as well as Android and Windows 10 which will have built-in support for FIDO Authentication. As a Board member of the FIDO Alliance and a leading provider of strong authentication, FEITIAN is committed to supporting the new FIDO2 standard within our full range of products and providing password-less authentication through biometrics to securely access across platforms in a trusted manner.“ said Tibi Zhang, Vice President, General Manager at FEITIAN Technologies US, Inc.
