Validity Sensors to support FIDO integration

Wednesday 20 February 2013 00:23 CET | News

Validity Sensors, a provider of ID authentication services, has revealed plans to support FIDO integration in its mobile and notebook software development kits (SDKs) for both Android and Windows operating systems.

According to Sebastien Taveau, Validity CTO and FIDO Alliance Board Member, cited by online media outlet MarketWatch, with the mass adoption of web-based mobile services, it has become increasingly more difficult to control all of your online identities, passwords and PINs.

Validitys Natural ID fingerprint sensors have been deployed in most of consumer and enterprise notebooks and are being adopted by mobile devices. Validity Natural ID makes the fingerprint the key to ones digital identity.

The FIDO Alliance was formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability among authentication technologies and remedy the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The Alliance plans to change the nature of authentication by developing standards-based specifications that define an open, scalable, interoperable set of mechanisms that supplant reliance on passwords to easily and securely authenticate users of online services.
