WebAuthn. Web Authentication (WebAuthn) is a web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). [1][2][3] WebAuthn is a core component of the FIDO2 Project under the guidance of the FIDO Alliance. [4] The goal of the project is to standardize an interface for authenticating users to web-based applications and services using public ...
The Web Authentication Working Group, created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) on February 17, 2016, has for mission, in the Security Activity, to define a client-side API providing strong authentication functionality to Web Applications. On 20 March 2018, the WebAuthn standard was published as a W3C Candidate Recommendation.
Token Binding is an evolution of the Transport Layer Security Channel ID (previously known as Transport Layer Security – Origin Bound Certificates (TLS-OBC)) extension. Industry participation is widespread with standards contributors including Microsoft, [2] Google, [3] PayPal, Ping Identity, and Yubico. Browser support remains limited, however.
FIDO Alliance. The FIDO ("Fast IDentity Online") Alliance is an open industry association launched in February 2013 whose stated mission is to develop and promote authentication standards that "help reduce the world’s over-reliance on passwords ". [1] FIDO addresses the lack of interoperability among devices that use strong authentication and ...
An application programming interface (API) key is a secret unique identifier used to authenticate and authorize a user, developer, or calling program to an API. [1][2] Cloud computing providers such as Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services recommend that API keys only be used to authenticate projects, rather than human users. [3][4]
Client to Authenticator Protocol. The Client to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP) or X.1278[1] enables a roaming, user-controlled cryptographic authenticator (such as a smartphone or a hardware security key) to interoperate with a client platform such as a laptop.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a method of adding additional security to your account. The first "factor" is your usual password that is standard for any account. The second "factor" is a verification code retrieved from an app on a mobile device or computer. 2FA is conceptually similar to a security token device that banks in some ...
Together WebAuthn and CTAP provide a strong authentication solution for the web. A FIDO2 authenticator, also called a WebAuthn authenticator, uses public-key cryptography to interoperate with a WebAuthn client, that is, a conforming web user agent that implements the WebAuthn JavaScript API. [18]
