Technical Overview of FIDO Solution

This document proposes a new unified authentication architecture using biometrics and security tokens. Some key points: - It describes a new approach that allows any device, application, or authenticator to be used for authentication. This is enabled by standards-based protocols and a unified authentication module. - The solution aims to address issues with current siloed authentication methods by providing a single sign-on and reducing complexity, redundancy and costs. - Authentication works by registering user devices to generate and store cryptographic keys, then authenticating the user to unlock the key and sign responses during the authentication process. - Integration with systems like ForgeRock OpenAM is described, allowing policy-based authentication via the
