FIDO 101
summary
FIDO replaces server‑stored passwords with public key cryptography, moving crypto into browsers (WebAuthn) and CTAP for USB/BLE/NFC keys; this blocks phishing by binding credentials to exact domains. Deployments show major platforms shipping passkeys (Apple, Google now; Android/Windows soon). FIDO Device Onboard enables zero‑touch onboarding via ownership vouchers, a rendezvous service and mutual auth; LF Edge provides an open‑source implementation. Certification covers functional/interoperability tests, security levels 1–3, and biometric component tests (face, fingerprint, voice, iris). Membership nears 300 orgs; 8.4B leaked passwords underscore the need.
