!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] the [client] and [protocol] layers.
%%information
The [FIDO] 2.0 [Specifications] were submitted to the [W3C] on November 12, [2015|Year 2015] for formal standardization. These are provided here for historic reference only. Implementers are encouraged to work with the [Web Authentication API] ([WebAuthN]) specification.
%%
[{$pagename}] is designed to create ecosystem of [client] [Authentication Methods] that can be used with a variety of [Service Providers] in an interoperable manner.
!! [FIDO] [Authentication Method]
[{$pagename}] define the [authentication] [protocol] used between the [client] and the [Service Providers]. The [protocol] is based on standard [Public Key] [cryptography]
The [client] registers a [Public Key] with the [Service Providers] at [initial setup|Credential Enrollment]. Later, when authenticating, the service verifies that the [client] owns the [Private Key] by asking it to sign a challenge. The [FIDO protocol] is designed to ensure user [privacy] and [security].
!! [FIDO Authenticator]
[{$pagename}] define a common [API] at the [client] for the local [authentication] method that the user exercises. The [client] can be pre–installed on the [Operating System] or web [browser].
Different [Authentication Methods] such as secure [PIN], [biometrics] and other [Authentication Factor] devices can be "plugged in" via this standardized interface into the [client].
