In our increasingly interconnected world, individuals in both business and personal settings are seeking access to their data through a variety of devices, including PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. However, despite the widespread availability of data, maintaining a high level of security is paramount, ideally without compromising the user experience. By leveraging the multi-factor authentication solutions built upon the open standards established by the FIDO Alliance, online users can now achieve an enhanced level of security while registering and logging into their accounts with ease. This process involves combining two authentication factors – one of them: a FIDO security key.

Through the utilization of a dedicated FIDO security key – a physical hardware token, users can safeguard themselves against potential breaches and phishing attacks, all while enjoying a streamlined and effortless login procedure. Consequently, organizations that adopt FIDO's standards can fortify their security measures, enhance user satisfaction, and even reduce their support expenditures.

As a founding member of the FIDO Alliance and a leading provider of cutting-edge security solutions, Infineon plays a pivotal role in driving these advancements. By providing the ideal security ICs (integrated circuits) for a wide array of FIDO security keys, USB tokens, and any type of authenticators, Infineon actively supports the integration of these enhancements. Notably, Infineon is expanding its portfolio of FIDO reference designs, incorporating FIDO2 compatibility for both USB and NFC protocols in a single-chip solution designed for FIDO security keys, USB tokens, and any type of removable authenticators.
