Online Fast Authentication Alliance FIDO Alliance (hereinafter referred to as FIDO Alliance) announced last night that the FIDO 1.0 on-line encryption and password-free authentication standard was released and is ready to extend the encryption standard for the use of bio-information and hardware keys instead of passwords to more enterprises in the future.

Michael Barrett, president of the Fido Alliance, said:

"Today we celebrate this achievement, and we are about to face the death of the traditional code."

Fido Alliance was founded in January 2013, its members include Google, PayPal, MasterCard, Microsoft, BlackBerry, Lenovo and so on. FIDO 1.0 mainly includes two parts, general authorization framework UAF and device-side protocol u2f. Biometric or hardware key information (including Bluetooth, NFC) is validated and transmitted to the Fido federation server for comparison.

This standard covers the entire industry chain, including chip manufacturers, mobile phone manufacturers, app developers and internet or cloud service providers. There are already NOK Nok Labs, Synaptics, Alibaba, PayPal, Samsung, Google, Yubico and Plugup adopt this standard. Samsung Galaxy S5, for example, uses the FIDO standard for fingerprint payments, and the payment of fingerprint payments on Huawei Mate 7 is also improved on the Fido Alliance's standards.

Now really everyone wants to kill the password, 1password announced free, Dashlane also began to provide a key to modify all the password services. But the Fido Alliance's open standards are clearly more imaginative.
