BIO-key<\/a> has gained FIDO2 Authenticator Level 1 certification for its Passkey:YOU, an authentication solution for employees using shared or restricted workstations.<\/p>\n

The certification covers conformity with the FIDO2 CTAP 2.0 specification and Authenticator Security Level 1 requirements.<\/p>\n

Passkey:YOU was introduced<\/a> for workplaces that would allow employees to unlock a passkey by touching a fingerprint scanner attached to the workstation or tapping a registered access badge.<\/p>\n

BIO-key also makes the service available through its MobileAuth application, which supports fingerprint, facial, and palm authentication on compatible mobile devices.<\/p>\n

FIDO\u2019s certification framework identifies it as Authenticator Level 1, which is the baseline security level required for a certified FIDO authenticator.<\/p>\n

FIDO Level 1<\/a> assesses an authenticator\u2019s resistance to basic, at-scale attacks. FIDO2 certification also requires conformance and interoperability testing.<\/p>\n

Higher certification levels add requirements such as hardened software, hardware-isolated execution, and resistance to attacks involving physical access to the device.<\/p>\n

Passkey:YOU was already in the market before receiving the new certification. BIO-key said it included the authenticator in a wider IAM deployment<\/a> for an unidentified international defense agency.<\/p>\n

The company has also made Passkey:YOU available<\/a> to U.S. government customers through its partnership with TD Synnex Public Sector\u2019s DLT Solutions.<\/p>\n
