Why Imagination Technologies has joined the FIDO Alliance

imgtec.com, Jan. 27, 2020 – 

We all know passwords are a problem. We have too many of them to remember, but too many of them are reused to make them secure. No surprise that they are the root cause of the vast majority of data breaches. Fortunately, clever minds are working at ways to replace them and they have come together to create the FIDO® (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance.

The FIDO Alliance was created in 2013 to define standardised mechanisms for individuals to authenticate with biometrics systems (fingerprint and iris scanners and voice and facial recognition) for internet applications. It has been very successful and has attracted the support of many leading industry players: from cloud services providers and system-on-chip vendors to device manufacturers, payment companies and applications developers.

As the internet evolves towards the support of multiple connected devices in what is known as the internet-of-things (IoT), it brings with it new challenges. Devices need to authenticate with applications without the support of human operators. They need to establish their credentials toward applications in local networks and in cloud environments. They need to be routed toward their management systems and the applications that will use the data that they generate.

Throughout 2018 and 2019 key industry players recognised the need to standardise the protocols that IoT devices would use to onboard upon power-up with their management applications. At the same time, the FIDO Alliance includes representatives from the required participants to successfully define these protocols. In the value chain from IoT devices to cloud applications, all the key actors are represented within the FIDO Alliance.
