Advanced authentication
FIDO2
Advanced authentication includes sophisticated methods of authenticating a user and comprises solutions such as hardware tokens supporting any sort of
plug or proximity networking protocols, software tokens stored in a computer security chip or a smart device enclave
FIDO2 is an open authentication standard, hosted by the FIDO Alliance, and offers strong single factor (passwordless), two factor, and multi-factor
authentication. With these new capabilities, the YubiKey enables the replacement of weak username/password credentials with strong hardware-backed
cryptographic key pair credentials
Fast IDentity online (FIDO) The FIDO Alliance is an open industry association launched 2013 whose mission is to develop and promote authentication standards that help reduce the
world's over-reliance on passwords. The FIDO alliance has more than 250 members and Yubico is a co-founder together with Microsoft and Google

The Federal Information Processing Standard Publication is a US government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules and is
recognized by the US and Canada, as well as the EU
An HSM is a secure physical device, typically plugged into a computer, that is used to protect server environments and the cryptographic keys stored on
those servers
IAM is an important series of cybersecurity controls for companies and authorities to protect their customers and employees from phishing attacks and
stolen credentials. IAM tools manage the security of login methods, user accounts and permissions to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to
sensitive information and data
Multi-factor is an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or
more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism: knowledge (something only the user knows), possession (something only the user
has), and inherence (something only the user is)
A smart card is a physical card that has an embedded integrated chip that acts as a security token. Smart cards are typically the same size as a driver's
license or credit card and can be made out of metal or plastic. Hardware security keys can also act as a smart card with simplified deployment
WebAuthn is a global standard for secure authentication on the web supported by all leading browsers and platforms which make it very easy for a relying
party, such as a web service, to integrate strong authentication into applications using support built into all leading browsers and platformsView entire presentation
