Certifications will make LoginID one of the first companies globally
to be certified for both client and authenticator
San Mateo, CA, January 6, 2021. - LoginID, a FIDO-certified
strong authentication solution provider, announced obtaining the
latest UAF 1.1 Server, iOS and Android certifications by the FIDO
Alliance today, which will help companies move beyond the use of
traditional passwords.
FIDO UAF is a certification standard developed by the FIDO Alliance
that allows users to authenticate themselves securely and
conveniently on their personal computers and mobile devices, without
the use of passwords. Recognized by the International
Telecommunication Union’s Telecommunication Standardization Sector
(ITU-T), the protocol achieves this by allowing users to leverage
security factors on their device to create and release a private key
that is passed to the FIDO UAF Server in order to verify and
authenticate the user.
The protocol also supports the creation and configuration of various
policies for transaction verification. The private key generated by
a user will be passed through the FIDO UAF server in order to sign
different types of transaction data, such as financial transactions,
in a secure way.
“As a committed FIDO Alliance member, LoginID is proud to announce
our UAF 1.1 certification, complimentary to our FIDO2
certification,” said Simon Law, CEO of LoginID. “FIDO is now the
de-facto strong authentication standard globally; this certification
affirms our commitment to the FIDO Alliance, allowing us to
accelerate the adoption of FIDO-certified strong authentication, and
to provide our partners with the safest, easiest and most secure,
compliant authentication method available.”
LoginID’s FIDO UAF 1.1 certifications ensure continued support for
the latest biometric capabilities across Android and iOS clients
supported by the LoginID SDKs and server, supporting
interoperability and security and helping eliminate the time and
costs involved in customized integrations. The certification allows
LoginID to address the global password problem by further reducing
the cost, time and technological barriers to implementing
passwordless authentication.
With the fastest implementation time in the market, LoginID’s
commitment to accelerate adoption of passwordless authentication is
supported by various integration options, allowing organizations to
quickly integrate and scale strong authentication at low costs,
while ensuring compliance with international data privacy laws such
as the PSD2 Directive and GDPR Regulations.
