The FIDO Alliance, a cross-industry association, governs the standards for passwordless credential systems. It employs pairs of cryptographic keys—one public and one private—to grant users access when combined. Notably, even the user remains unaware of the private key, rendering this system resistant to phishing attacks.
In the consumer realm, authentication of passkeys on smart devices typically requires a fingerprint, face recognition, or a PIN. QR code scanning is also an option for desktops and laptops. In Intercede’s innovative solution, the authentication method is the utilization of YubiKey security keys, marking a significant step forward in the realm of passwordless security for businesses.
